Recent research has linked bodily self-consciousness to the processing and integration of multisensory bodily signals in temporoparietal, premotor, posterior parietal and extrastriate cortices. Studies in which subjects receive ambiguous multisensory information about the location and appearance of their own body have shown that these brain areas reflect the conscious experience of identifying with the body (self-identification (also known as body-ownership)), the experience of where 'I' am in space (self-location) and the experience of the position from where 'I' perceive the world (first-person perspective). Along with phenomena of altered states of self-consciousness in neurological patients and electrophysiological data from non-human primates, these findings may form the basis for a neurobiological model of bodily self-consciousness.
最近的研究将身体自我意识与颞顶、前运动、后顶和外纹状体皮质中多感觉身体信号的处理和整合联系起来。在这些研究中，受试者接收到关于自己身体位置和外观的模糊多感觉信息，结果表明这些大脑区域反映了对自身认同的有意识体验（自我认同（也称为身体所有权））、“我”在空间中的位置体验（自我定位）以及“我”感知世界的位置体验（第一人称视角）。与神经科患者的自我意识改变状态的现象以及非人类灵长类动物的电生理数据一起，这些发现可能为身体自我意识的神经生物学模型奠定基础。
