TLDR
The results support the notion that self-related processes are not necessarily engaged during sensory perception and can be actually suppressed, and show a complete segregation between the two patterns of activity.

Simultaneous EEG-fMRI reveals a temporal cascade of task-related and default-mode activations during a simple target detection task.

TL;DR: This study uses single-trial analysis of simultaneously-acquired scalp EEG and functional magnetic resonance image data to investigate the BOLD correlates of modulations in task-related attention, and uncovers the temporal cascade of these transient activations.

Relationship between personality and gray matter volume in healthy young adults: a voxel-based morphometric study.

TL;DR: It was concluded that brain regions involved in social cognition and affective process accounted for modulation and shaping of personality traits among young individuals.

Effect of combined naltrexone and bupropion therapy on the brain's reactivity to food cues

TL;DR: Blunting the hypothalamic reactivity to food cues while enhancing the activation of regions involved with self-control and internal awareness by NB32 might underlie its therapeutic benefits in obesity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lateralized enhancement of auditory cortex activity and increased sensitivity to self-generated sounds

TL;DR: Functional magnetic resonance imaging is used to demonstrate bilateral enhancement in the auditory cortex to self-generated versus externally generated sounds and it is found that this enhancement is stronger when the sound-producing hand is contralateral toThe auditory cortex.

The Principles of Psychology

William James
TL;DR: For instance, the authors discusses the multiplicity of the consciousness of self in the form of the stream of thought and the perception of space in the human brain, which is the basis for our work.

A default mode of brain function.

TL;DR: A baseline state of the normal adult human brain in terms of the brain oxygen extraction fraction or OEF is identified, suggesting the existence of an organized, baseline default mode of brain function that is suspended during specific goal-directed behaviors.

Descartes' Error: Emotion, Reason, and the Human Brain

TL;DR: The authors argued that rational decisions are not the product of logic alone - they require the support of emotion and feeling, drawing on his experience with neurological patients affected with brain damage, Dr Damasio showed how absence of emotions and feelings can break down rationality.
