The temporal features of self-referential processing evoked by national flag
Highlights
► Self-referential stimulus elicited longer N1 latency and larger N2 amplitude than that of non-self referential ones. ► Larger amplitudes were showed for self-referential stimulus than for familiar and unfamiliar stimuli. ► In terms of lateralization and caudality, the self-referential effect was more obvious on the left and front sites.

Electrophysiological correlates of self-prioritization
2023, Consciousness and CognitionCollective self-referential processing evoked by different national symbols: An event-related potential study
2022, Neuroscience LettersCitation Excerpt :A few studies used stimuli associated with a larger group (such as nation or race). For example, an ERP study found that national flags could elicit the collective self-reference effect at N1, N2, and P3 stages [14]. It was indicated that national symbols (such as national flag and national anthem) could evoke national identity [21], which as a part of collective self-concept, elicited collective self-reference effect.
Subliminal affective priming effect: Dissociated processes for intense versus normal facial expressions
2021, Brain and CognitionCitation Excerpt :In addition, N250 has also been proposed to reflect an early perceptual recognition process or valence discrimination between emotional and neutral facial expressions (Kerestes et al., 2009; Hagemann et al., 2016; Streit, Wolwer, Brinkmeyer, Ihl, & Gaebel, 2000). Although there is no direct evidence that N250 is an index of emotional congruency, N250 is believed to facilitate perceptual matching between input and stored representations, particularly matching related to personal familiarity (Fan, Zhang, Wang, Wang, Zhang, & Zhong, 2011; Zhao, Wu, Zimmer, & Fu, 2011). Therefore, the increased N250 negativity for congruent trials relative to incongruent trials for normal face primes might reflect more familiar or stronger associations for congruent expressions than for incongruent pairings.
Stimulus complexity matters when you hear your own voice: Attention effects on self-generated voice processing
2018, International Journal of PsychophysiologyCitation Excerpt :Participants were instructed to detect a change in the auditory stimulation. Considering that attentional resources are more strongly engaged by self-relevant stimuli both at early (i.e., within 200 ms post-stimulus onset; Conde et al., 2015; Fan et al., 2011; Fan et al., 2013) and higher-order (after approximately 300 ms post-stimulus onset; Gray et al., 2004; Perrin et al., 2005; Scott et al., 2005; Su et al., 2010; Sui et al., 2006; Tacikowski and Nowicka, 2010; Tacikowski et al., 2014) processing stages, we predicted that the self-voice would attract more attention (reflected in increased N2 and P3 amplitude). This would dovetail with the enhanced salience of the self-related stimuli, irrespective of stimulus type.
Paying attention to my voice or yours: An ERP study with words
2015, Biological PsychologyCitation Excerpt :As such, the increased amplitude observed for SGV indicates that self and non-self voices were discriminated at an early attentional processing stage and might suggest an easier detection of the SGV relative to the NSV. More negative N2 amplitude was previously reported by other studies investigating self-stimuli processing (Fan et al., 2011; Fan et al., 2013; Perrin et al., 1999). Since attentional modulation by emotional salience was shown to take place in early stages of information processing (Alexandrov, Klucharev, & Sams, 2007; Carretié et al., 2001; Wang et al., 2009), the heightened affective salience of SGV might have contributed to its facilitated detection.
