The Neurocomputational Mechanism Underlying Decision-Making on Unfairness to Self and Others
Fairness is a fundamental value in human societies, with individuals concerned about unfairness both to themselves and to others. Nevertheless, an enduring debate focuses on whether self-unfairness and other-u...

Dynamic Organization of Large-scale Functional Brain Networks Supports Interactions Between Emotion and Executive Control
Emotion and executive control are often conceptualized as two distinct modes of human brain functioning. Little, however, is known about how the dynamic organization of large-scale functional brain networks th...

Overlap between mental representations of nationalities modulates perceptual matching
There is abundant evidence on the human ability to encode complex social networks and on the behavioral consequences of tracking social network structure. However, it remains largely understudied whether menta...

Brain Systems Underlying Fundamental Motivations of Human Social Conformity
From birth to adulthood, we often align our behaviors, attitudes, and opinions with a majority, a phenomenon known as social conformity. A seminal framework has proposed that conformity behaviors are mainly dr...

To Blame or Not? Modulating Third-Party Punishment with the Framing Effect
People as third-party observers, without direct self-interest, may punish norm violators to maintain social norms. However, third-party judgment and the follow-up punishment might be susceptible to the way we ...

Intrinsic functional connectivity of medial prefrontal cortex predicts the individual moral bias in economic valuation partially through the moral sensitivity trait
An individual’s economic valuation of a given object is biased by the moral status of the persons to whom the object is attached. The neural basis for how such “moral bias” occurs, especially how it is maintai...

The neural signatures of egocentric bias in normative decision-making
Bargaining parties often disagree on what fair is, due to the reason that people are prone to believe that what favors oneself is fair, i.e., an egocentric bias. In this study, we investigated the neural signa...

Time is nothing: emotional consistency of autobiographical memory and its neural basis
The emotional aspect of autobiographical memories (AMs) is associated with self-related processing, which plays an important role in mental health. However, the emotional consistency dimension of AMs and its n...

The influence of self-construals on the ERP response to the rewards for self and mother
Individual self-construal (independent vs. interdependent) could be temporarily modulated by the priming effect. Our previous studies have found that when Chinese participants gambled for mother and for self, ...

Open AccessWhen your pain signifies my gain: neural activity while evaluating outcomes based on another person’s pain
The overlap between pain and reward processing pathways leds researchers to hypothesize that there are interactions between them in the human brain. Two hypotheses have been proposed. The “competition hypothes...
