This study shows that false cardiac feedback can alter pain perception and anticipatory heart rate, demonstrating the role of interoceptive inference in shaping both perception and physiological responses.

This study shows that humans adjust breathing during interoceptive and exteroceptive tasks, with better performance during exhalation.

The paper examines cardio-respiratory interactions in interoceptive perception by analyzing heartbeat-modulated cortical oscillations during cardiac and exteroceptive tasks.

This study examines how respiration affects reaction times and multisensory integration during a detection task, finding that response timing aligns with respiratory phases and that multisensory integration is strongest during the expiration-to-inspiration transition.

This study investigates how HEP amplitude relates to attention and respiration during interoceptive and exteroceptive tasks, finding exhalation drives HEP increases during cardiac attention.

The paper assesses heartbeat-evoked cortical responses using local and global measures of information storage, finding that local IS variability differs across cardiac cycle phases.

The paper shows that non-REM sleep stabilizes visual homeostatic plasticity in adults, with sleep spindle density and slow oscillations correlating with plasticity outcomes.

The paper investigates how respiration modulates cardiac interoception by analyzing HEP amplitude during inhalation and exhalation in two studies with healthy humans.
