Self-evaluation, or self-rating, is the process by which people evaluate themselves with the purpose of improving several aspects of their personalities or skills and it is closely related to the cognitive function of metacognition. The purpose of the study was to investigate the degree of implication of various brain areas to meta-cognition as it relates to subjective ratings of cognitive effort when performing mathematical problems of different complexity. To achieve this, participants were recruited to solve mathematical problems (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division) in three levels of difficulty, while inside an fMRI scanner. After solving a given task, they were asked to evaluate the amount of effort they spent to solve it. Brain signal was collected during their answers, which was then analyzed with the aid of computer software. Results of the analysis show that increases in task difficulty activate the frontal lobe, cingulate and insular cortex areas. The parietal lobule, the precuneus and the cingulate gyrus were found to be active as well as during all four mathematical operations.

Самооценка - это процесс, посредством которого люди оценивают себя с целью улучшения некоторых аспектов своей личности или навыков, тесно связанный с когнитивной функцией метапознания. Цель исследования - изучение степени вовлеченности различных областей головного мозга в метапознание, поскольку оно связано с субъективными оценками когнитивных усилий при решении математических задач различной сложности. Для этого участникам эксперимента было предложено решить математические задачи (сложение, вычитание, умножение и деление) трех уровней сложности, находясь внутри сканера фМРТ. После решения каждой задачи они оценивали количество усилий, затраченных на ее решение. Во время получения ответов фиксировались сигналы мозга, которые затем анализировались с помощью специальных компьютерных программ. Результаты показали, что увеличение сложности задачи активирует лобную долю, поясную и островковую области коры головного мозга. Обнаружено, что теменная долька, предклинье и поясная извилина также активируются во время всех четырех математических операций.
