The paper develops a computational model of peripersonal space (PPS) plasticity in schizophrenia, finding that reduced synaptic plasticity mechanisms can explain PPS expansion despite E/I imbalance.

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 uses a multisensory causal inference network to show that increased excitation in schizophrenia spectrum individuals enlarges temporal binding windows and increases illusion proneness.

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

This study shows that expecting pain increases perceived heart rate, even when actual heart rate does not change, revealing an interoceptive illusion driven by threat expectations.

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

The paper uses computational models to investigate how imbalances in excitation/inhibition and synaptic density affect peri-personal space representation in schizophrenia and high schizotypal individuals.

The paper examines the relationship between cortical silent period (CSP) length and stop signal reaction time (SSRT) to assess how individual differences in intracortical inhibition relate to inhibitory control performance.
