“…CSb showed no significant association with anxiety in a study [ 83 ]; however, nothing is known about its relation to other self-report measures. The non-existing association between CSb and body awareness [ 2 ], a trait-like construct that generalizes body focus and perceived awareness of internal signals across modalities over time [ 74 ], is particularly striking [ 84 ]. These findings fit very well the ideas raised above.…”

Assessment of the acuity of heartbeat perception, dubbed cardioceptive accuracy, as well as its association with various psychological characteristics are hot topics of interoception research. In this study, we aimed (1) to replicate previously reported findings on the association between the mental tracking task and a novel motor tracking task that eliminates disturbing tactile sensations; and (2) to explore associations between performance in the latter task and indicators of negative affectivity (anxiety, depression, anxiety sensitivity, somatic symptom distress), alexithymia, body focus, and dissatisfaction with body image. 102 young people (age = 20.8±5.08 yrs) participated in the study. Mental tracking score was significantly higher than motor tracking scores, although they were strongly associated. Frequentist correlation analysis showed no significant associations between indicators of cardioceptive accuracy and questionnaire scores; Bayesian analysis indicated the lack of association for the majority of the cases. Similarly, detectors and non-detectors showed no differences in any of the assessed characteristics and Bayesian results typically supported the lack of associations. In conclusion, cardioceptive accuracy, as assessed with different tracking methods, is not associated with the aforementioned self-reported characteristics in young individuals.

“…Our body functions are designed to draw context from the environment using sensory data. Through contextual experience, sense data can produce either accommodation and integration or a felt sense of dissimilarity and possibly distress ( Meyers-Levy et al, 2010 ; Köteles, 2021 ). For example, emotional events may be marked by such somatic reactions as tightening the muscles or increases in heart rate prior to the emotion being brought to consciousness ( Barrett, 2017 ).…”

“…Humans typically do not consciously or intentionally monitor their interoceptive sensations. Interoceptive body sensations operate by automatically requiring attention when a shift in body resources demands a person to act to maintain homeostasis ( Köteles, 2021 ). This suggests that interoception operates at the preconscious level wherein a person is primarily unaware of their bodily processes, but these processes can enter consciousness when top-down attentional resources are directed to the process ( Balconi et al, 2017 ).…”

The purpose of this article is to examine evidence that broadens the clinical perspective on interoception as an imperative consideration for individuals with mental health and sensory processing challenges. The central supposition is that interoception is broader than just signals from the viscera. Rather, interoception refers to perceptions of bodily signals and bodily states that construct a subjective representation of the experience. These representations are then utilized for categorizing the sensory attributes and constructing meaning. Thus, this updated conceptualization presents interoception as a complex multidimensional system, with bidirectional features. The interplay between the brain and the body is necessary to maintain homeostasis as well as respond adaptively to the changes in one’s internal and external environment. As a sensory capacity, interoceptive information must be processed and interpreted before it can be integrated into a personal experiential history. Interoception supports both body and mental functions and as such, interoceptive processes support health and wellness by establishing a felt sense of psychological and physiological safety that is foundational to meaningful participation in life. The information presented in this article is central to the pursuit of evidence-based best practices for any professional wishing to integrate consideration of interoception into their clinical practice.
