초록

우리가 타인과 상호작용하거나 물체를 사용하는 동안 뇌에서는 신체 이미지를 추적하고 행위의 주체를 파악하려는 신경 정보처리가 끊임없이 이루어진다. 선조외 시각 피질(Extrastriate Body Area, EBA)은 신체에 관한 시각 입력과 우리 자신의 움직임에 관한 내적 신호들을 통합하여 행위 주체감(sense of agency) 생성을 위한 초기 신경 표상을 제공한다. 그러나 이러한 과정에서 물체의 기능적 특성이 행위 주체에 따라서 어떻게 반영되는지 알려진 바는 거의 없다. 이에 본 연구는 기능성 자기공명 영상 기법을 활용하여 자신 또는 타인이 도구를 사용하는 장면을 참가자들이 상상할 때 도구의 행동유도성(affordance)이 EBA의 신경 반응에 끼치는 영향을 관찰하였다. 각 시행에서 참가자들은 신체를 향해 사용하는 도구(예, 망원경)나 신체 바깥 방향으로 사용하는 도구(예, 주사위)를 제시받았다. 이 때, 도구를 둘러싼 사각형 테두리의 색깔에 따라서 참가자들은 자신 혹은 타인이 그 도구를 사용한다고 상상하였다. 실험 결과, 우반구 EBA는 참가자가 ‘자신’의 행위를 상상할 때 바깥 방향 도구 조건보다 신체 방향 도구 조건에서 더 많이 활성화되었으나, 참가자가 ‘타인’의 행위를 상상할 때는 도구의 사용 방향으로부터 영향을 받지 않았다. 후속 검사에 따르면 자신 조건과 타인 조건에서 각각 상상하는 동안 참가자가 느낀 생동감의 차이는 없었다. 이러한 결과는 EBA가 도구의 행동유도성 정보를 신체 도식에 반영함으로써 행위 주체감을 향상시키고 우리 자신의 행동을 안내하는 데 기여하고 있음을 시사한다.

Abstract

While we interact with other people or objects, the brain continuously updates our own body schema to recognize the agent of observed actions. The Extrastriate Body Area (EBA) provides an initial interface for the sense of agency by integrating visual inputs of body parts with internal signals related to self-generated body movements. Less is known, however, about how the functional use of tools contributes to such processes. Here, we investigated whether tool-specific affordance would differentially affect the neural responses in the EBA depending on the agency of imaginary actions. In each trial we presented a picture of an object in a rectangular frame. Objects were either the tools typically brought towards the body (body tools; e.g., telescope, earphones) or away from the body (world tools; e.g., pen, dice; Rueschemeyer, Pfeiffer, & Bekkering, 2010). Depending on the color of the frame, participants imagined either themselves or the other person using the tool (self vs. other conditions). These four types of trials were randomly intermixed with blank trials. As results, independently localized right EBA regions of interest showed greater activation when participants imagined themselves using body tools than using world tools whereas no such differential activations were found when they imagined the other person using the tools. The postscan test revealed no significant difference in vividness of imagery between the self and other conditions. Our results suggest that the EBA incorporates functional affordance of tools into the body schema in order to enhance the sense of agency and to guide our own actions.
