Yin and Yangism is the simple dialectical materialist philosophy created by the ancient Chinese sages,which play a fundamental role in the conceptual knowledge organization and theoretical system of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM).Yin Yang thinking of Chinese medicine is a high-level cognitive activity adopted by the brain of the Chinese medicine theoretical method according to the basic concept of yin and yang doctrine and related theoretical knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine.Compared with the traditional theoretical and speculative textual analysis,the experimental methods in cognitive psychology,such as the event-related potential(ERP)and functional magnetic resonance imaging technology(fMRI),can intuitively present the space-time characteristics of neural activity of brain thinking,then reveal the specificity of Yin and Yang thinking of Chinese medicine from the level of brain nerve activity.In this research,ERP and fMRI technology were conducted to a systematic study of static yin and yang analogical reasoning and dynamic yin and yang conversion estimate.Yin and yang analogical reasoning is characterized by an analogy item(A:B::C:D).Firstly,the effects of the structural elements of yin and yang class inference such as the original domain(A:B),the target domain(C:D),and the yin and yang matching(A-C,B-D)on the yin and yang class reasoning process were explored.Secondly,the yin and yang analogical mapping cognitive process of the concrete objects and abstract objects in the field of traditional Chinese medicine were explored.Thirdly,the semantic priming paradigm was used to focus on examining the semantic transformation process of yin and yang in the dynamic yin and yang conversion thinking.It was also explored the process of yin and yang conversion under the change of vertical space.1.The ERP and fMRI experimental results of how the structural elements of yin and yang class inference affect the yin and yang analogical reasoning:The results of the behavior indicate that when the original domain provides a strong yin and yang relationship,it is more conducive to the yin and yang-type ratio reasoning(p=.013).Compared with the"Yin-Yang" structure,the "Yang-Yin" structure has a more significant behavioral advantage(P<.001)compared to the "Yin-Yang" structure,showing a spatial semantic combination effect.The results of ERP show that the matching of the yin and yang ratio reasoning,the target domain,and the yin and yang structure of the yin and yang,respectively affect the yin and yang ratio reasoning process of different periods.The original domain provides a strong yin and yang image map.On the one hand,it can promote the recognition of the non-anti-righteous relationship between the target domain in the P200 stage(P=0.061),and on the other hand,it can promote the Yin and Yang matching process in the LPC stage(P=0.06).The antonyms in the target domain induce corrected N400 and LPCs(both P<.001),which reminded that its opposite unified semantic semantic relationship extraction and opposing structure integration is a sufficient condition for the structural mapping of yin and yang ratio reasoning.Compared with the target domain of the oppositional unified relationship(cold:heat)and the target domain of the yin and yang category(cold:day),it was found that the two left hemispheres on the back of the brain did not display N400 volatility differences,but in the right hemisphere display(cold:day),it induced the induced by the display(cold:day).Correct LPC.This means that the processing of the confrontation and unified relationship has different division of labor left and right hemispheres.The left hemisphere is mainly involved in the integration of the yin and yang category of semantics.The right hemisphere mainly participates in the analysis and integration of the unified relationship structure of the yin and yang.The first source domain and the target domain affect the yin and yang matching process at different times.When the source domain affects the LPC phase that is matched with yin and yang,the target domain affects the N400 stage.The fMRI results show that the strong yin and yang map of the original domain activates more front buckles to bring back in non-matching antonyms.At this time,the area is closely related to execution control.It may participate in the process of conflict monitoring and behavioral adjustment of yin and yang in the structural mapping of the analogy of Yangyin.The weak yin and yang map did not see the activation of the area.It activated the left side of the left side during the yin and yang matching process,indicating that the weak yin and yang graphic required continuous semantic integration analysis to complete the structure mapping.In the strong yin and yang map,many areas on the right side of the brain of antonyms,while in the weak yin and yang map,there is no obvious activation of the right brain right hemisphere.This may indicate the integration analysis and evaluation process of the yin and yin opposite structure of the right hemisphere participating in the antonyms.Generally speaking,the dual-based relationships based on the yin and yang ratio inference include many sub-ingredients.Relations of the domain and target domain matching and structural matching.And different types of yin and yang ratio will stimulate different sub-sharing.2.The ERP and fMRI experimental results of the concrete effects of medicine and non-medical yin and yang analogical reasoning:behavioral results indicate the behavior advantage of yin and yang ratio of medical yin and yang(P<.001),abstract analogy also showed advantages in behavior(P<.001).ERP results show that compared with non-medical ratios,medical yin and yang ratio seduce corrected N400 and LPCs(both P<.001);compared with abstract yin and yang ratio,the specific yin and yang ratio induced the more negative N400 and LPC.There are different characteristics of the difference between the specific vs.abstraction of medical vs.abstract and non-medical specific VS.abstract analogy.Specific differences in medical vs.abstraction appear in the N400 stage and the final stage,rather than the difference between the specific medical vs.abstraction at the same time in the N400,LPC and LNC phase.This indicates that there are at least three stages of analog mapping:one is the construction of the unified relationship between the target,the other is the construction of the opposition relationship,and the third is the mapping analysis;and the specific strategies of the brain’s specific processing of medical ratio and non-medical ratio,There are significant differences in semantic extraction and integration and structural mapping processes of non-medical specific objects.Specific medical analogy and abstract analogies are converged in the construction and unified relationship construction of the relationship,and differences are displayed in analog mapping analysis.This reminds the specific concepts and abstract concepts of traditional Chinese medicine understanding the nature characteristics of the process of understanding the process.fMRI results show that the yin and yang ratio of specific objects is more significant in the left hemisphere,especially the left forehead network area.Further analysis shows that the abstraction of the yin and yang ratio of medicine-specific concepts activate more left hemisphere areas,rather than the specific-non-medical yin and yang-type ratio-more abstract activation of the extensive area of the right hemisphere.This means that this non-medical specific concept requires continuous activation of the right hemisphere when constructing an opposite relationship to help it get a wider range of scenarios.The activation of the left hemisphere of medical abstract concepts is consistent with the results of the left hemisphere activation of the abstract concepts in previous studies.This shows that the pharmaceutical specific concept and abstract concept of the yin and yang in the yin and yang ratio of the brain are similar in the yin-yang relationship,and the different processing models of the yin and yang relationship in the yin and yang ratio of the yin and yang ratio have produced different processing modes.3.The ERP and fMRI experimental results of the transformation of yin and yang semantic transformation and vertical space on the transformation of yin and yang:When the position is in the center,the reaction of the yin to yang is shorter than the yang to yin(P<.001).The reaction on the upper time is shorter than the top(p=.018).The ERP results show that there is asymmetric transformation of yin and yang when the position is in the middle,and the LPC and LNCs that are more negative in the left hemisphere from yin to yin are induced,which indicates that the active semantic network activation of the brain is more active by default.During the change of vertical space,semantic separation is replaced by spatial perception.The judgment of the transformation of the yin and yang semantic semantic semantic semantics in the middle position induces similar ERP,but the ERP characteristics induced by the transformation of the yin and yang semantic semantic semantic semantic semantic semantic semantic semantic semantic semantics have different waveform features.This indicates that the brain may be equivalent to normal trends and normal,that is,the brain defaults to actively pay attention to expectations.When processing negative trends,additional investment is needed.The fMRI results show that when the yin to yang obtains more right-brain activation areas,the yang to yin has obtained less activation,and the positive semantic network of the brain is interacting with the space perception of the space.In summary,there are three basic conclusions about the neuromechanism of yin and yang thinking.first is the advantages of semantic space order in the category of "yang".There may be a yang-positive default brain network,which may cause positive cognitive bias.This may be widely affected the TCM doctors’ judgment of the development of the disease and the corresponding dialectical treatment of the disease.At the same time,it provides a cognitive neurosteural evidence for the increasing evolutionary process of the more importance of yang thought in Yin and Yang theory.Second,the yin and yang analogical reasoning process is affected by the origin domain,target domain,and yin and yang matching.Among them,the antonym processing of the target domain is the core process of the yin and yang relational mapping.The right hemisphere of the brain may be closely related to the complex matching process of the yin and yang-like reason.The key to eliminating yin and yang cognition,so that the key to entering the high-level yin and yang and thinking mode may be the training of yin and yang of the right brain.Third,the specific objects and abstract objects of the yin and yang ratio of medicine show the convergence of the class ratio mapping,and the non-medical ratio is manifested as structural mapping separation.sex.To a certain extent,the abstraction of specific concepts is likely to be affected by the construction of yin and yang,and the concrete of abstract concepts may come from the metaphor construct of the real world.For the first time,this study studies Chinese medicine thinking with fMRI technology,and combined with ERP technology to reveal the characteristics of the brain space of yin and yang thinking of traditional Chinese medicine,reveal the different nature of yin and yang thinking of traditional Chinese medicine from the perspective of cognitive neuroscience,and provide theory and empirical evidence for the high-level development of yin and yang thinking of traditional Chinese medicine medicine.support.
