**Study objective:**

Reassess the SRE on EM using immersive virtual reality (IVR) to examine the individual and joint contributions of the minimal and narrative facets of the Self to the SRE on the EM of naturalistic daily events

The narrative Self plays a predominant role in enhancing EM encoding of multimodal scenes under ecological conditions.

The minimal Self may contribute to enhancing EM in contexts where the narrative Self is not engaged, but further analysis is needed.
