The problem of the self has captivated philosophers and psychologists for centuries. While the self is clearly a central facet of the human psyche, to date we have a limited understanding of the cognitive and neural mechanisms underlying this construct. The fundamental, pre-reflexive level of self-representation, often termed the minimal self has been the focus of recent work in psychology and neuroscience. This article will review recent advances in the study of the minimal self and its grounding in sensory and motor processing. I will suggest that the minimal self arises from unconscious integration of sensorimotor signals in specific brain systems, and that these same mechanisms may be of relevance to understanding disorders of the self such as schizophrenia. Finally, some influences of the minimal self on social cognition and future challenges will be discussed.

感官和运动基础的自我组装

几个世纪以来，自我问题一直困扰着哲学家和心理学家。尽管自我显然是人类心理的中心方面，但迄今为止，我们对这种构造基础的认知和神经机制的理解仍然有限。自我表示的基本的，自我反思的水平，通常被称为最小自我，一直是心理学和神经科学领域近期工作的重点。本文将回顾最小自我及其在感觉和运动处理中的基础研究的最新进展。我将建议，最小的自我是由于感觉运动信号在特定大脑系统中的无意识整合而引起的，并且这些相同的机制可能与理解自我的疾病（例如精神分裂症）有关。最后，
