Using functional magnetic resonance imaging, brain activation patterns were examined in response to hearing one's own first name in contrast to hearing the names of others. There are several regions in the left hemisphere that show greater activation to one's own name, including middle frontal cortex, middle and superior temporal cortex, and cuneus. These findings provide evidence that hearing one's own name has unique brain functioning activation specific to one's own name in relation to the names of others.
利用功能磁共振成像技术,研究了听到自己名字与听到他人名字时大脑的激活模式。左半球有几个区域对自己的名字表现出更强的激活,包括额中回、颞中回和颞上回以及楔叶。这些发现提供了证据,表明听到自己的名字相对于他人的名字具有独特的、特定于自己名字的大脑功能激活。
