Abstract

Although not completely resolved, there is growing evidence that self–other processing is subserved by a cortical network that involves substrates in the right and medial frontal lobes, inferior parietal lobe, anterior temporal lobe, and possibly the amygdala (Kircher et al., 2001; Platek et al., 2004a,b). Deficits in self–other processing are characteristic of neuropsychiatric disorders, including schizophrenia (Gallup et al., 2003), and people who score high on schizotypy also show impairments in self–other processing. Platek et al. reported that expression of high levels of schizotypal personality traits negatively impacts self-face recognition (Platek and Gallup, 2002), responses to self-referential adjectives (Platek et al., 2003), and measures related to empathy (Langdon and Coltheart, 2001; Pickup and Frith, 1999). Here, we used functional near infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) to investigate changes in frontal lobe hemodynamics as a function of schizotypy.
