title: Electrophysiological correlates of processing subject's own name.
abstract: To understand the neurological mechanisms associated with the perception of subject's own name (SON) and provide a reference for assessing residual cognitive functions in patients with disorders of consciousness, event-related potentials were recorded in 16 healthy volunteers. Compared with event-related potentials elicited by tone stimuli, SON elicited larger MMN and P300. The amplitudes and latencies of MMN and P300 induced by subject's derived name (SDN) were similar to those induced by SON. Discriminating SON from SDN resulted in longer MMN and P300 latencies. These data showed that the SDN had similar quality as SON and might provide a useful reference for quantitatively evaluating disorders of consciousness.
