Abstract

Personality can be considered a system characterized by complex dynamics that are extremely adaptive depending on continuous interactions with the environment and situations. The present preliminary study explores the dynamic interplay between brain flexibility and personality by taking the dynamic approach to personality into account, thereby drawing from Cloninger's psychobiological model. 46 healthy individuals were recruited, and their brain dynamics were assessed using magnetoencephalography (MEG) during the resting state. We identified brain activation patterns and measured brain flexibility by employing the theory of neuronal avalanches. Subsequent correlation analyses revealed a significant positive association between brain flexibility and cooperativeness, thus highlighting the role of brain reconfiguration tendencies in fostering openness, tolerance, and empathy towards others. Additionally, this preliminary finding suggests a neurobiological basis for adaptive social behaviors. Although the results are preliminary, this study provides initial insights into the intricate relationship between brain dynamics and personality, thus laying the groundwork for further research in this emerging field using a dynamic network analysis of the functional activity of the brain.

脑动力学与人格：初步研究。

人格可以被认为是一个以复杂动态为特征的系统，它具有极强的适应性，依赖于与环境和情境的持续互动。本初步研究借鉴了Cloninger的心理生物学模型，采用人格的动态分析方法，探讨了大脑灵活性与人格之间的动态相互作用。选取46名健康受试者，利用脑磁图（MEG）对其静息状态下的脑动态进行评估。我们确定了大脑的激活模式和测量大脑的灵活性，采用理论的神经元雪崩。随后的相关分析揭示了大脑灵活性与合作性之间的显著正相关，从而强调了大脑重构倾向在培养对他人的开放性、宽容性和同理心方面的作用。此外，这一初步发现表明了适应性社会行为的神经生物学基础。虽然结果是初步的，但这项研究为大脑动力学和人格之间复杂的关系提供了初步的见解，从而为使用大脑功能活动的动态网络分析在这一新兴领域的进一步研究奠定了基础。
