Abstract

Cardiac interoception is important for health and can be assessed in terms of accuracy (IAcc) and sensibility (IS), at least. While IAcc measures the correspondence between recorded and perceived heartbeats, IS means the confidence in interoceptive perceptions during the task. The present study investigated if brain activity during the heartbeat tracking task is associated with IAcc as well as IS. Specifically, we were interested if task-related power (TRP) in the alpha band (8-12 Hz), known to indicate task-specific cognitive functions such as semantic, attentional, and sensory processes, is associated with IAcc and IS, respectively. In a sample of 30 participants, we found relatively higher TRP in the alpha band over left temporal and parietal areas (vs. right) during the interoception task. Furthermore, we observed a negative association between TRP in the alpha band and IS. Lower TRP in the alpha band might indicate that more pronounced cognitive and sensory processes are linked to higher IS. Furthermore, we found a positive effect for IAcc (independent from IS), which might indicate that more internal attention during the interoception task is beneficial for IAcc. We further discuss the findings in the context of methodological issues of the heartbeat tracking task. Taken together, the pattern of findings favors the investigation of task-related IS (i.e., confidence ratings) in combination with IAcc to gain a better access to interoceptive processes and to improve our understanding of the neural underpinnings of (cardiac) interoception.

期刊介绍: Founded in 1964, Psychophysiology is the most established journal in the world specifically dedicated to the dissemination of psychophysiological science. The journal continues to play a key role in advancing human neuroscience in its many forms and methodologies (including central and peripheral measures), covering research on the interrelationships between the physiological and psychological aspects of brain and behavior. Typically, studies published in Psychophysiology include psychological independent variables and noninvasive physiological dependent variables (hemodynamic, optical, and electromagnetic brain imaging and/or peripheral measures such as respiratory sinus arrhythmia, electromyography, pupillography, and many others). The majority of studies published in the journal involve human participants, but work using animal models of such phenomena is occasionally published. Psychophysiology welcomes submissions on new theoretical, empirical, and methodological advances in: cognitive, affective, clinical and social neuroscience, psychopathology and psychiatry, health science and behavioral medicine, and biomedical engineering. The journal publishes theoretical papers, evaluative reviews of literature, empirical papers, and methodological papers, with submissions welcome from scientists in any fields mentioned above.
