AboutAbout the lab
Exploring how the brain distinguishes self from others
Under Assistant Professor SHIN Nakyeong of the Division of Human Life Design at the Faculty of Design, the lab specializes in Kansei science and physiological psychology.
Using EEG, the lab investigates how the ability to distinguish self from others appears in brain activity.
The key clue is the mirror system, which is active both when performing an action and when watching one.
Recently, the lab has presented findings on how brain activity during self–other discrimination differs between adults and children.
Key terms
- Mirror system
- A brain mechanism that is active both when performing an action and when watching one. It has been suggested to be involved in distinguishing self from others
- Mu rhythm
- An EEG component at 8–13 Hz. Its suppression (mu suppression) is used as an index of mirror system activity
- Self–other discrimination
- Distinguishing self from others. The sense of "self" has been reported to be linked to the activity of specific brain regions and networks
ResearchResearch themes
Previous studies have reported that the sense of "self" is linked to the activity of specific brain regions and networks. This lab uses EEG to investigate how mirror system activity is involved in distinguishing self from others.
