“…Interestingly this is also the only VS/UWS patient which is showing a response in the active condition when asked to count a specific target name and might therefore be a misdiagnosed MCS patient. Stronger alpha desynchronization in response to the own name, this has been previously associate, where we previously were able to show that higher occipital alpha desynchronization was associated to the activation of long-term autobiographical memory traces (del Giudice et al, 2014;Fellinger et al, 2011;Klimesch, 1996;Klimesch, Sauseng, & Hanslmayr, 2007;Tamura, Karube, Mizuba, & Iramina, 2012). Therefore, we can speculate that this may have been the case also for patients.…”

Emotional and self-relevant stimuli are able to automatically attract attention and their use in patients suffering from disorders of consciousness (DOC) might help detecting otherwise hidden signs of cognition. We here recorded EEG in three Locked-in syndrome (LIS) and four Vegetative State/Unresponsive Wakefulness Syndrome (VS/UWS) patients while they listened to the voice of a family member or an unfamiliar voice during a passive. Data indicate that, in a passive listening condition, the familiar voice induces stronger alpha desynchronization than the unfamiliar one. In an active condition, the target evoked stronger alpha desynchronization in controls, two LIS patients and one VS/UWS patient. Results suggest that self-relevant familiar voice stimuli can engage additional attentional resources and might allow the detection of otherwise hidden signs of instruction-following and thus residual awareness. Further studies are necessary to find sensitive paradigms that are suited to find subtle signs of cognition and awareness in DOC patients.

“…At the same time, the temporal morphology and topographical distributions of these responses could be analogous to at least two known ERP effects of responses ones’ name: (1) the N2-P3 complex, ERP components associated with target detection that have been shown to be enhanced in response for ones’ own name in more controlled experiments (Folmer and Yingling, 1997; Perrin et al, 2005; Tamura et al, 2012; Liu et al, 2019), or (2) the later N400-P600 responses that are linked to processing and memory retrieval and have also been reported as sensitive to hearing ones’ name (Berlad and Pratt, 1995; Müller and Kutas, 1997; Eichenlaub et al, 2012; Tamura et al, 2012). Additional research and replication is necessary to link the RIDE-ERP effects observed here to the more well-studied ERP responses and deepen our mechanistic understanding on the neural processes generating the observed heightened response to ones’ own name.…”

“…First reported by Cherry (1953), the own name advantage has been demonstrated in a variety of behavioral and neural studies, arguably reflecting its ‘special status’ in the perceptual system (Deutsch and Deutsch, 1963; Gallagher, 2000; Perrin et al, 2005; Alho and Vorobyev, 2007). The most commonly known, yet also somewhat controversial, finding is of detecting ones’ name in a presumed “unattended” stream, in selective attention paradigm (Wood and Cowan, 1995; Röer et al, 2013; Ljungberg et al, 2014; Naveh-Benjamin et al, 2014; Holtze et al, 2021) although behavioral advantages have been shown in a variety of other paradigms (Perrin et al, 1999; Tamura et al, 2012; Tateuchi et al, 2012; Röer et al, 2013; Lechinger et al, 2016; Liu et al, 2019; Jijomon and Vinod, 2021; Ye et al, 2021). Several ERP components have also been shown to be enhanced in response to hearing or reading ones’ own name vs. other names or words.…”

“…Several ERP components have also been shown to be enhanced in response to hearing or reading ones’ own name vs. other names or words. These include the central P300 response, that is associated with target detection (Berlad and Pratt, 1995; Folmer and Yingling, 1997; Perrin et al, 1999, 2005; Tacikowski and Nowicka, 2010; Tamura et al, 2012; Holtze et al, 2021; Lu et al, 2021) the central N400 response associated with semantic processing (Müller and Kutas, 1997), and the parietal P600 response (Berlad and Pratt, 1995; Eichenlaub et al, 2012), which is also linked to semantic processing and memory retrieval. However, almost all previous studies of the own name advantage have done so using highly artificial stimuli where names were presented as part of word-lists rather than embedded in ecologically-relevant contexts.…”

“…Research into this question has largely focused on selective attention paradigms - where participants are instructed to listen to one ‘main’ stimulus and perform a task, while disregarding other task-irrelevant stimuli (Cherry, 1953; Broadbent, 1958; Lane and Pearson, 1982; Driver, 2001; Ding et al, 2018). However, these selective attention paradigms have yielded mixed results regarding the depth of processing that is applied to task-irrelevant speech, with some studies suggesting that task-irrelevant speech is only represented at an acoustic level but not at a semantic/linguistic level, while others do find evidence for some linguistic processing of task-irrelevant speech (Dupoux et al, 2003; Brodbeck et al, 2020; Dai et al, 2021; Har-shai Yahav and Zion Golumbic, 2021), particularly if it contains salient content words (Moray, 1959; Treisman, 1960; Wood and Cowan, 1995; Rivenez et al, 2008) Perhaps one of the most well-known demonstrations of this phenomena is the conscious detection of one’s own name in supposedly “unattended” speech (Moray, 1959; Wood and Cowan, 1995; Conway et al, 2001; Tamura et al, 2012; Tateuchi et al, 2012; Röer et al, 2013; Naveh-Benjamin et al, 2014; Holtze et al, 2021). However, one major tension in interpreting these results is the ambiguity regarding what participants actually do in selective attention tasks.…”

Many situations require focusing attention on one speaker, while monitoring the environment for potentially important information. Some have proposed that dividing attention among two speakers involves behavioral tradeoffs, due to limited cognitive resources. However the severity of these tradeoffs, particularly under ecologically-valid circumstances, is not well understood. We investigated the capacity to process simultaneous speech using a dual-task paradigm simulating task demands and stimuli encountered in real-life. Participants listened to conversational narratives (Narrative Stream) and monitored a stream of announcements (Barista Stream), to detect when their order was called. We measured participants' performance, neural activity and skin conductance as they engaged in this dual-task. Participants achieved extremely high dual-task accuracy, with no apparent behavioral tradeoffs. Moreover, robust neural and physiological responses were observed for target-stimuli in the Barista Stream, alongside significant neural speech-tracking of the Narrative Stream. These results suggest that humans have substantial capacity to process simultaneous speech and do not suffer from insufficient processing resources, at least for this highly ecological task-combination and level of perceptual load. Results also confirmed the ecological validity of the advantage for detecting ones' own name at the behavioral, neural and physiological level, highlighting the contribution of personal relevance when processing simultaneous speech.

Oscillatory brain responses to own names uttered by unfamiliar and familiar voices

et al. 2014

Among auditory stimuli, the own name is one of the most powerful and it is able to automatically capture attention and elicit a robust electrophysiological response. The subject’s own name (SON) is preferentially processed in the right hemisphere, mainly because of its self-relevance and emotional content, together with other personally relevant information such as the voice of a familiar person. Whether emotional and self-relevant information are able to attract attention and can be, in future, introduced in clinical studies remains unclear. In the present study we used EEG and asked participants to count a target name (active condition) or to just listen to the SON or other unfamiliar names uttered by a familiar or unfamiliar voice (passive condition). Data reveals that the target name elicits a strong alpha event related desynchronization with respect to non-target names and triggers in addition a left lateralized theta synchronization as well as delta synchronization.In the passive condition alpha desynchronization was observed for familiar voice and SON stimuli in the right hemisphere.Altogether we speculate that participants engage additional attentional resources when counting a target name or when listening to personally relevant stimuli which is indexed by alpha desynchronization whereas left lateralized theta synchronization may be related to verbal working memory load. After validating the present protocol in healthy volunteers it is suggested to move one step further and apply the protocol to patients with disorders of consciousness in which the degree of residual cognitive processing and self-awareness is still insufficiently understood.
