Abstract

Background: Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has revolutionized our understanding of brain activity by non-invasively detecting changes in blood oxygen levels. This review explores how fMRI is used to study mind-reading processes in adults.

Methodology: A systematic search was conducted across Web of Science, PubMed, and Google Scholar. Studies were selected based on strict inclusion and exclusion criteria: peer-reviewed; published between 2000 and 2024 (in English); focused on adults; investigated mind-reading (mental state decoding, brain-computer interfaces) or related processes; and employed various mind-reading techniques (pattern classification, multivariate analysis, decoding algorithms).

Results: This review highlights the critical role of fMRI in uncovering the neural mechanisms of mind-reading. Key brain regions involved include the superior temporal sulcus (STS), medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC), and temporoparietal junction (TPJ), all crucial for mentalizing (understanding others' mental states).

Conclusions: This review emphasizes the importance of fMRI in advancing our knowledge of how the brain interprets and processes mental states. It offers valuable insights into the current state of mind-reading research in adults and paves the way for future exploration in this field.

功能磁共振成像在成人大脑解码过程中的作用：系统回顾。

背景：功能性磁共振成像（fMRI）通过无创检测血氧水平的变化，彻底改变了我们对大脑活动的理解。这篇综述探讨了功能磁共振成像如何用于研究成年人的读心术过程。方法：通过Web of Science， PubMed和b谷歌Scholar进行系统搜索。研究的选择基于严格的纳入和排除标准：同行评议；2000年至2024年出版（英文）；专注于成年人；调查读心术（心理状态解码，脑机接口）或相关过程；并采用了各种读心术（模式分类、多元分析、解码算法）。结果：本综述强调了功能磁共振成像在揭示读心术的神经机制方面的重要作用。涉及的关键脑区包括颞上沟（STS）、内侧前额叶皮层（mPFC）和颞顶叶交界处（TPJ），它们都对心智化（理解他人的精神状态）至关重要。结论：这篇综述强调了功能磁共振成像在提高我们对大脑如何解释和处理精神状态的认识方面的重要性。它为成人读心术研究的现状提供了有价值的见解，并为该领域的未来探索铺平了道路。

期刊介绍： PeerJ is an open access peer-reviewed scientific journal covering research in the biological and medical sciences. At PeerJ, authors take out a lifetime publication plan (for as little as $99) which allows them to publish articles in the journal for free, forever. PeerJ has 5 Nobel Prize Winners on the Board; they have won several industry and media awards; and they are widely recognized as being one of the most interesting recent developments in academic publishing.
