As various studies suggest, mental processes attributed to understanding of others, e.g. Theory of Mind (ToM), and Selfprojection (Self) evoke large overlapping brain areas but there can also be found some specific regions connected uniquely to particular tasks.
The aim of our study was to consider not only similarities and differences among these various processes on neuronal level, but also to take into consideration the subjective appraisal of presented stories and the approach employed in understanding of the behaviour of characters from those stories.
