Tools and Resources: Remote, automated and MRI-compatible administration of interoceptive inspiratory resistive loading

The paper introduces a remote, automated, and MRI-compatible system for delivering inspiratory resistive loads to study interoception in neuroimaging studies.

Anterior insular cortex plays a critical role in interoceptive attention

This study demonstrates that the anterior insular cortex is critical for interoceptive attention by showing its activation and connectivity patterns in healthy individuals and impaired function in patients with AIC lesions.

Common and dissociable contributions of alexithymia and autism to domain-specific interoceptive dysregulations - a dimensional neuroimaging approach

This study investigates how alexithymia and autism traits independently and interactively influence interoceptive dysregulations in pain empathy using a dimensional neuroimaging approach in healthy subjects.

Heartfelt Face Perception via the Interoceptive Pathway - a MEG study

This study uses MEG to show that sad face perception modulates heartbeat-evoked potentials, with increased causal flow from the right anterior insula to the anterior cingulate cortex.

Breathlessness And The Body: Neuroimaging Evidence For The Inferential Leap

The paper tests a Bayesian model of breathlessness perception by linking psychological traits to brain activity and variability in subjective breathlessness experiences.
