This is a new paper testing Bayesian computational mechanisms of improvements in cardiac interoception due to a training program developed by @sarahgarf.bsky.social and colleagues. Led by a very talented grad student @chatrins.bsky.social (www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...)
sciencedirect.com
A hierarchical Bayesian model reveals increased precision weighting for afferent cardiac signals, and reduced anxiety, as a function of interoceptive training
Interoceptive interventions offer a promising avenue for improving mental health conditions, which commonly feature bodily or interoceptive symptoms. …

The Heart Rate Matching task (HRM) is a novel measure of cardiac interoceptive beliefs. Across three experiments, we report good construct validity of the task, meaning researchers can use it with co...

Interoception, the perception of signals from the body, has become central to understanding why bodily states are felt differently across individuals. Rather than being unitary, interoception is best ...

Is there a single "interoceptive sense"? Our new study in @commspsychol.nature.com says: probably not. In 241 participants, cardiac and respiratory interoception were completely uncorrelated — only subjective confidence was shared across domains. www.nature.com/articles/s44... #psychscisky 🧪
  Graphical abstract showing three panels. Left panel, "Multiorgan Interoception Measures," depicts a translucent human body
   silhouette with anatomically rendered heart (red) and lungs (blue), accompanied by schematic icons for three
  psychophysical tasks: the Respiratory Resistance Sensitivity Task (RRST), Heart Rate Discrimination Task (HRDT), and an
  auditory control condition. N = 241 participants. Center panel, "Psychophysical Modelling and Individual Differences,"
  shows a fan of overlapping sigmoid psychometric curves in blue-to-red gradient representing individual variation in
  perceptual threshold (α) and precision (β), a hierarchical Bayesian model diagram, and icons for metacognitive bias and
  M-Ratio efficiency. Right panel, "Key Finding: No Cross-Modal Relationship," displays a scatterplot of cardiac versus
  respiratory sensitivity with a flat regression line (r ≈ 0, BF₀₁ > 6), a compact Bayes Factor heatmap with mostly blue
  null-supporting cells and one orange cell indicating that subjective confidence is shared across modalities (r = 0.51***).
   Takeaway: interoceptive ability is modality-specific.

Are interoception and mental health linked? Many assume so, with interoception even described as a psychiatric “p-factor.” But in our latest preprint, we were surprised to find little evidence for such a connection. www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1... 🧵 Thread with our reflections on the matter 👇
