Heartbeat-Related Bodily Processing Shapes Transition Patterns in Self-Related Spontaneous Thought

Mai Sakuragi, Kazushi Shinagawa, Yuri Terasawa, Yuto Tanaka, Satoshi Umeda

This study shows that heartbeat-related bodily processing influences the organization of spontaneous thought, with higher cardiac interoceptive accuracy linked to more self-related thought transitions.

Autonomic and cortical responses to heartbeat-synchronous auditory omissions during an auditory attention task

Mai Sakuragi, Yuto Tanaka, Kazushi Shinagawa, Yuri Terasawa, Satoshi Umeda

This study examines autonomic and cortical responses to heartbeat-synchronous auditory omissions during an auditory attention task, finding distinct responses under active response conditions.

How the Heart Shapes the Mind: The Role of Cardiac Interoception in the Interaction between Autonomic Nervous Activity and Self-related Thoughts

Mai Sakuragi, Satoshi Umeda

This study examines how cardiac interoception influences transitions between thought states and autonomic nervous activity, showing that interoceptive accuracy affects thought persistence and transitions during task performance.

Effects of unconscious tactile stimuli on autonomic nervous activity and afferent signal processing

Mai Sakuragi, Yuto Tanaka, Kazushi Shinagawa, Koki Tsuji, Satoshi Umeda

This study examines how subthreshold tactile stimuli affect autonomic nervous activity and cortical processing by measuring heart rate and heartbeat-evoked potentials in humans.

The Body Mirroring Thought: The Relationship Between Thought Transitions and Fluctuations in Autonomic Nervous Activity Mediated by Interoception

Mai Sakuragi, Kazushi Shinagawa, Yuri Terasawa, Satoshi Umeda

This study shows that interoceptive accuracy influences how thought states change with autonomic nervous activity fluctuations.
