• Self-awareness deficits following loss of inner speech: Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor's case study. (2009, unknown): “Self-awareness constitutes a complex multidimensional construct that includes the following elements: knowing that one remains the same person across time, that one is the author of one’s thoughts and actions (sense of agency), and that one is distinct from the environment (Kircher & David, 2003).”
• The presence of the past: Identity continuity and group dynamics (2015, background): “Initially, empirical research on the importance of self-continuity was mainly conducted by clinical psychologists and psychiatrists, who observed that disturbances of self-continuity are a source of great discomfort and impaired psychological functioning (e.g., Scharfetter, 2003; Sims, 2003).”
• Meditation states and traits: EEG, ERP, and neuroimaging studies. (2006, background): “…referencing, and psychiatric or drug-induced changes in self-experience and depersonalization phenomena (Farrer et al., 2003; Farrer & Frith, 2002; Kircher & David, 2003; MacDonald & Paus, 2003; Mathew et al., 1999; Sierra, Lopera, Lambert, Phillips, & David, 2002; Simeon et al., 2000;…”
• Self-referential processing in our brain - A meta-analysis of imaging studies on the self (2006, background): “As such, we distinguish self-referential processing also from what is commonly called ''insight'' which we consider to presuppose cognitive and reflective functions rather than simply pure subjective and phenomenal aspects (Kircher and David, 2003).”
• Conjoint activity of anterior insular and anterior cingulate cortex: awareness and response (2010, background): “Scientific, clinical, and philosophical investigations of the self utilize widely differing terminologies and theoretical frameworks, such that the different perspectives may confuse as much as inform each other (Northoff and Heinzel 2003).”
