We recorded electroencephalograms and electrocardiograms during the task in three attentional conditions (i.e., sensation-focus, movement-focus, and no-focus instruction). Interoceptive accuracy was evaluated by a heartbeat counting task and interoceptive sensibility was obtained using the Multidimensional Assessment of Interoceptive Awareness questionnaire. Results showed that internal focus on movement led to lower performance compared to the no-focus instruction in both groups, whereas focusing on physical sensations did not change performance. Higher interoceptive sensibility predicted better performance when focusing on movement.

Seven participants with various types of cancer participated in group therapy and were interviewed at a medical institution in Japan.
