Mental processes and their neural substrates are intimately linked to the homeostatic control
of internal bodily state. There are a set of distinct interoceptive pathways that directly and …

The inadequacy of a categorial approach to mental health diagnosis is now well-recognised,
with many authors, diagnostic manuals and funding bodies advocating a dimensional, trans …

Interoception refers to the sensing of internal bodily changes. Interoception interacts with
cognition and emotion, making measurement of individual differences in interoceptive ability …

It is difficult to collect objective evidence of interoception. Unlike exteroception, the effective
stimuli for interoception are often unknown, and even when identifiable, they are difficult to …

Individuals differ in their awareness of afferent information from within their bodies, which is
typically assessed by a heartbeat perception measure of 'interoceptive accuracy'(IAcc) …

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 …

In this issue, Terasawa and colleagues used functional neuroimaging to test for common
neural substrates supporting conscious appraisal of subjective bodily and emotional states …

Mental processes depend upon a dynamic integration of brain and body. Emotions
encompass internal physiological changes which, through interoception (sensing bodily …

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 …

The mind and body are intrinsically and dynamically coupled. Perceptions, thoughts and
feelings change, and respond to, the state of the body. This chapter describes the integration …
