Theoretical frameworks such as predictive coding suggest that the perception of the body
and world–interoception and exteroception–involve intertwined processes of inference …

Interoception, the monitoring of visceral signals, is often presumed to engage attentional
mechanisms specifically devoted to inner bodily sensing. In fact, most standardized …

The perception of internal bodily signals (interoception) is central to many theories of
emotion and embodied cognition. According to recent theoretical views, the sensory …

Our perception of the external world is influenced by internal bodily signals. For example, we
recently showed that timing of stimulation along the cardiac cycle and spontaneous …

Respiration and heartbeat continuously interact within the living organism at many different
levels, representing two of the main oscillatory rhythms of the body and providing major …

Abstract The Heartbeat Evoked Potential (HEP) has been proposed as a neurophysiological
marker of interoceptive processing. Despite its use to validate interoceptive measures and to …

Interoception refers to the sensing of signals concerning the internal state of the body.
Individual differences in interoceptive sensitivity are proposed to account for differences in …

How exteroceptive attention (EA) alters neural representations of the external world is well
characterized, yet little is known about how interoceptive attention (IA) alters neural …

Interoception is the ability to perceive one's internal body state including visceral sensations.
Heart-focused interoception has received particular attention, in part due to a readily …

Garfinkel and Critchley (2013) recently proposed a three level model of interoception. Only
few studies, however, have empirically tested this theoretical model thus far. The present …
