Interoceptive sensitivity, feelings and behavorial controlThe processing of afferent bodily signals is not only of great importance for the control of homeostatic and adaptive processes within the body but, in combination with the perceptibility of ...
Validation of a method for assessing cardiac sensitivity and new findings on the functional significance of heartbeat-evoked potentialsAbstract. Bodily perception is becoming increasingly important to ...
Metacognitions and interoceptive sensibility in the perception of premonitory urges in tic disorders across the lifespanAbstract.Objective: Depending on contextual factors, the prevalence of premonitory urges (PU) ...
Zusammenfassung: Moderne, bildgebende Verfahren wie die funktionelle Magnetresonanztomographie (fMRT) haben sich zu einem populären Instrument der neurowissenschaftlichen Forschung entwickelt, um die Gehirnaktivität von gesunden Probanden und auch ...
Bio-Psycho-Social Therapy for Stress-Induced Chronic Pain Abstract. Against the background of latest neurobiological and epigenetic findings the bio-psycho-social model of disease is outlined often misinterpreted ...
Analysis of Heartbeat Tracking Tasks by Means of the Signal-Detection TheoryAbstract. Heartbeat detection and tracking tasks are standard approaches for measuring comprehensive interoceptive abilities. Proper measures for the sensitivity of the conscious ...
The Importance of the Premonitory Urge in Tic Disorders. An OverviewAbstract.Background: The role of the premonitory urge (PU) in the pathogenesis and maintenance of tic disorders (TD) has been the subject of intensified research in recent ...
Abstract.Background: Only recently has interoception been discussed as a common risk factor for psychopathology. Recent approaches distinguish between the ability to accurately perceive (interoceptive accuracy) and the propensity to ...
Abstract.Background: Individuals with social phobia are characterized by a heightened sensitivity for physical symptom such as blushing. Objectives: We exploratorily examined whether ...
Abstract According to current concepts of functional psychosomatic disorders, disturbed interoceptive processes are considered relevant causal factors especially in relation to panic disorders and functional cardiac complaints. In our study, heart beat ...
The question of whether the perception of externally applied pain stimuli and the perception of interoceptive stimuli are based upon similar neuronal or behavioral processes is still open to debate. If such a similarity exists, one would expect that ...
In the present study we aimed to investigate the impact of the ability to perceive bodily changes as indexed by the perception of one’s heartbeat (cardiac perception) on emotional experience when being confronted with a mental stressor. To induce stress, ...
Abstract. Recently, Garfinkel and Critchley (2013) proposed to distinguish between three facets of interoception: interoceptive sensibility, interoceptive accuracy, and interoceptive awareness. This pilot study investigated how these facets ...
Abstract. Heartbeat perception tasks are used to measure interoceptive accuracy. This paper explores the effect of reducing external auditory stimuli on heartbeat perception. Three samples (121 participants in total) performed a heartbeat perception ...
Abstract. Recent studies on interoception emphasize the importance of multisensory integration between interoception and exteroception. One of the methods frequently applied for assessing interoceptive sensitivity is the heartbeat discrimination task, ...
Abstract. Previous research suggests that individuals with increased awareness of internal bodily states (i.e., high interoceptive awareness) are more sensitive to emotional stimuli, particularly stimuli that are negative or threatening. Concurrently, ...
Abstract: Perception of emotions is at the basis of scientific literature about emotions and is considered a crucial emotional function in the Mayer and Salovey hierarchical model of Emotional Intelligence. The perception of bodily signals plays an ...
Abstract. Interoception is defined as an iterative process that refers to receiving, accessing, appraising, and responding to body sensations. Recently, following an extensive process of development, Mehling and colleagues (2012) proposed a new ...
Experience of one’s own body relies on signals arising within the body as well as on exteroceptive information, and on appraisal of cognitive and affective aspects of these signals. The present study investigated the impact of sensitivity to internal ...
Recent research on so-called embodied cognitions strengthens the current view that the body and the mind cannot be separated in producing cognitions. But how and when does the body talk to the mind? Drawing on the notion that bodily processes are ...
