“…In accordance to former data suggesting correlations between interoceptive awareness and trait anxiety [9,36,39] in this study only trait anxiety items were applied, that is items describing the individual's usual feelings. The STAI trait scale is a well-validated and reliable (Cronbach's a .73-.86) self-report measure of anxiety assessing the dispositional or more stable trait of anxiety proneness.…”

“…This raises the possibility that the relationship between parasympathetic tone and fear may not be linear (but instead follows an inverted U-shaped function), or implicates additional mechanisms such as enhanced interoceptive accuracy at lower heart rates (Pollatos et al, 2007).

Autonomic nervous system activity is an important component of human emotion. Mental processes influence bodily physiology, which in turn feeds back to influence thoughts and feelings. Afferent cardiovascular signals from arterial baroreceptors in the carotid sinuses are processed within the brain and contribute to this two-way communication with the body. These carotid baroreceptors can be stimulated non-invasively by externally applying focal negative pressure bilaterally to the neck. In an experiment combining functional neuroimaging (fMRI) with carotid stimulation in healthy participants, we tested the hypothesis that manipulating afferent cardiovascular signals alters the central processing of emotional information (fearful and neutral facial expressions). Carotid stimulation, compared with sham stimulation, broadly attenuated activity across cortical and brainstem regions. Modulation of emotional processing was apparent as a significant expression-by-stimulation interaction within left amygdala, where responses during appraisal of fearful faces were selectively reduced by carotid stimulation. Moreover, activity reductions within insula, amygdala, and hippocampus correlated with the degree of stimulationevoked change in the explicit emotional ratings of fearful faces. Across participants, individual differences in autonomic state (heart rate variability, a proxy measure of autonomic balance toward parasympathetic activity) predicted the extent to which carotid stimulation influenced neural (amygdala) responses during appraisal and subjective rating of fearful faces. Together our results provide mechanistic insight into the visceral component of emotion by identifying the neural substrates mediating cardiovascular influences on the processing of fear signals, potentially implicating central baroreflex mechanisms for anxiolytic treatment targets.

“…A heartbeat perception score was calculated, following standard practice Pollatos, Herbert, Matthias, & Schandry, 2007), according to this formula: 1/3 Σ (1 -(|recorded heartbeats -counted heartbeats|) / recorded heartbeats). Per interval, a difference score of the number of recorded and counted heartbeats was created, which was in turn divided by the number of recorded heartbeats, subtracted from 1, summed and averaged by the number of intervals.…”

Error awareness has been argued to depend on sensory feedback and interoceptive awareness (IA) (Ullsperger et al., 2010). We recorded EEG while participants performed a speeded Go/No-Go task in which they signaled error commission. Visibility of the effector was manipulated, while IA was measured with a heartbeat perception task. The late Pe was larger for aware than unaware errors. The ERN was also found to be modulated by error awareness, but only when the hand was visible, suggesting that its sensitivity to error awareness depends on the availability of visual sensory feedback. Only when the response hand was visible, the late Pe amplitude to aware errors correlated with IA, suggesting that sensory feedback and IA synergistically contribute to the emergence of error awareness. These findings underscore the idea that several sources of information accumulate in time following action execution in order to enable errors to break through and reach awareness.
