Neural Evidence of Mirror Self-Recognition in the Secondary Somatosensory Cortex of Macaque: Observations from a Single-Cell Recording Experiment and Implications for Consciousness

2021 · cited by 12

Electrophysiological evidence shows that multimodal visual and somatosensory mechanisms in the secondary somatosensory cortex underlie mirror self-recognition and distinguish self from non-self.

Tactile localization promotes infant self-recognition in the mirror-mark test.

2024 · cited by 7

Research on human infants demonstrates that mirror self-recognition is mediated by specific sensorimotor integration and self-touch mechanisms that teach individuals how to localize stimuli seen in a mirror.
