Recent experimental evidence on patients with disorders of consciousness revealed that
observing brain-heart interactions helps to detect residual consciousness, even in patients …

Respiratory rhythms sustain biological life, governing the homeostatic exchange of oxygen
and carbon dioxide. Until recently, however, the influence of breathing on the brain has …

A growing body of evidence highlights the intricate linkage of exteroceptive perception to the
rhythmic activity of the visceral body. In parallel, interoceptive inference theories of affective …

Breathing plays a crucial role in shaping perceptual and cognitive processes by regulating
the strength and synchronisation of neural oscillations. Numerous studies have …

Abstract 'Why would we do anything at all if the doing was not doing something to us?'In
other words: What is consciousness good for? Here, reversing classical views, according to …

The ability to sense, monitor, and control respiration–eg, respiratory interoception
(henceforth, respiroception) is a core homeostatic ability. Beyond the regulation of gas …

This paper presents a model of consciousness that follows directly from the free-energy
principle (FEP). We first rehearse the classical and quantum formulations of the FEP. In …

Over the past six years, a rapidly growing number of studies have shown that respiration
exerts a significant influence on sensory, affective, and cognitive processes. At the same …

Interoception—the perception of internal bodily signals—has recently emerged as an area of
significant interest due to its potential implications in emotion and the prevalence of …
