communicative elements of the diagnostic criteria. In this review, we step back from autism …

distinguished two understandings of the self, the self as “Me” and the self as “I”. This
distinction has recently regained popularity in cognitive science, especially in the context of …

Personally relevant stimuli exert a powerful influence on social cognition. What is not yet
fully understood, however, is how early in the processing stream self-relevance influences …

This study aimed to elucidate whether distinct early processes underlie the perception of our
own face. Alternatively, self-face perception might rely on the same processes that realize …

Recently, Sui and colleagues introduced an experimental task to investigate prioritization of
arbitrary stimuli associated with the self. They demonstrated that after being told to associate …

A multitude of studies demonstrate that self-relevant stimuli influence attention. Self-owned
objects are a special class of self-relevant stimuli. If a self-owned object can indeed be …

A stable self-representation has an intrinsically beneficial connotation for information
processing: it allows the individual to flexibly adapt to different contexts, while prioritizing …

Self-related visual information, especially one's own face and name, are processed in a
specific, prioritized way. However, the spatio-temporal brain dynamics of self-prioritization …

We conducted three experiments to test the effect of assumed task-relevance of self-
association on the self-prioritization effect (SPE). Participants were first performing the …

People process stimuli that have been arbitrarily associated with the self versus with a
stranger preferentially, but congruence effects can modulate self-prioritization, as when the …
