The paper investigates cardiac-exteroceptive integration in infants using a modified iBEATs paradigm, finding that the ability to detect cardiac-exteroceptive synchrony emerges during the first year of life.

This study shows that cardiac cycle phase influences asymmetric value updating in instrumental reward learning, with higher learning rates for positive prediction errors during systole.

The paper compares EEG oscillatory activities during a rubber hand illusion in real and virtual reality environments, finding no significant differences in VR, suggesting VR alters sensory integration mechanisms.
