Just a heartbeat away from one's body: interoceptive sensitivity predicts malleability of body-representations [PDF]
Body-awareness relies on the representation of both interoceptive and exteroceptive percepts coming from one's body. However, the exact relationship and possible interaction of interoceptive and exteroceptive systems for body-awareness remain unknown. We

Interoceptive awareness in essential hypertension
Clinical practice and research provide evidence indicating the involvement of psychological factors in essential hypertension. Little is known about interoception (i.e. the ability of perceiving bodily signals) in essential hypertension. The present study focused on the assessment of interoceptive awareness in newly diagnosed-untreated hypertensives by

Towards multiple interactions of inner and outer sensations in corporeal awareness [PDF]
Under normal circumstances, different inner- and outer-body sources are integrated to form coherent and accurate mental experiences of the state of the body, leading to the phenomenon of corporeal awareness. How these processes are affected by changes in

Rebuilding Body–Brain Interaction from the Vagal Network in Spinal Cord Injuries
Spinal cord injuries (SCIs) exert devastating effects on body awareness, leading to the disruption of the transmission of sensory and motor inputs. Researchers have attempted to improve perceived body awareness post-SCI by intervening at the multisensory

Gender differences in the interoceptive awareness: a pilot study on Italian people
Background: Bodily self-recognition requires the individual to be able to refer to himself through a reflexive representation, typically a schema or an image of one’s own body.

Interactions between visceral afferent signaling and stimulus processing [PDF]
Visceral afferent signals to the brain influence thoughts, feelings and behaviour. Here we highlight the findings of a set of empirical investigations in humans concerning body-mind interaction that focus on how feedback from states of autonomic arousal ...

State-dependent changes of connectivity patterns and functional brain network topology in Autism Spectrum Disorder [PDF]
Anatomical and functional brain studies have converged to the hypothesis that Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) are associated with atypical connectivity.

The cybernetic Bayesian brain: from interoceptive inference to sensorimotor contingencies [PDF]
Is there a single principle by which neural operations can account for perception, cognition, action, and even consciousness? A strong candidate is now taking shape in the form of “predictive processing”.

Interoceptive awareness enhances neural activity during empathy [PDF]
AbstractEmpathy is a multicomponent function that includes sensorimotor, affective, and cognitive components. Although especially the affective component may implicate interoception and interoceptive awareness, the impact of interoception on empathy has never been evaluated behaviorally or neurophysiologically. Here, we tested how a preceding period of

Heartfelt embodiment: Changes in body-ownership and self-identification produce distinct changes in interoceptive accuracy [PDF]
Interoceptive and exteroceptive information are both essential for the construction and update of self-awareness. Whereas several studies have shown how interoceptive accuracy or cardiac feedback influences body-awareness, no studies have looked at the ...
