对身体性自我意识神经科学研究的分析与反思

An Analysis and Reflection on the Neuroscience Research of Bodily Self-Consciousness

身体性自我意识是神经科学研究的热点之一,科学家们一方面通过可操作性实验探索视觉、触觉和本体感觉等对身体性自我意识的影响;另一方面建立神经-心理模型从整体上说明身体性自我意识的机制。我认为这些研究存在两点问题:(1)以身体性自我意识错觉研究取代身体性自我意识研究;(2)把两项测量指标误当作研究对象的两种成分。结合这两点问题,我给出初步的修正建议。

Bodily self-consciousness is one of the hot topics in neuroscience research. On the one hand, scientists explore the effects of vision, touch and proprioception on bodily self-consciousness through operational experiments. On the other hand, they establish the neuropsychological model to explain the mechanism of bodily self-consciousness as a whole. In my opinion, two problems may be found in these studies:(1) the study of bodily self-consciousness is substituted with the study of bodily self-consciousness illusion;and(2) two measurement indicators are mistaken as the two components of the research object. To solve these two problems, I give some preliminary advice on revision of the study.
