What if #interoception is more than accurately detecting the body?

In our super-fresh Opinion in @cp-trendscognsci.bsky.social w/ @micahgallen.com @leahbanellis.bsky.social and Gioia Bottesi we ask a different question: what do bodily signals mean for the self?

Interoceptive inference integrates visceral signals with predictive models, shaping affect, bodily self awareness, and adaptive behavior.

Delighted to have met him at a NIH interoception meeting!

New null results hot off the press! 🤩

We wanted to see whether taking a #placebo painkiller not only reduces your pain, but also generalizes to your ability to perceive your heartbeat (related to #interoception).

It doesn't, but that's okay 😄

👏 It is exciting to see such valuable support for #interoception research and the development of our scientific community.
Congratulations, @skhalsa.bsky.social, Olu, and the entire team on this award!

I’m thrilled to lead this with Olujimi Ajijola (UCLA), @ruimcosta.bsky.social (Allen Institute), @markandermann.bsky.social (Harvard/BIDMC) & Xin Sun(UCSF).

We want the broader community involved.

Hey #interoception folks. Jenn MacCormack and I have been hosting a weekly reading/working group on interoception for *early career scholars* for ~3 years now. We'd love to add some new members. Message for more info!

Thirst that only shows up as a headache at four in the afternoon. A full bladder you notice when it is already urgent.

Almost none of that has been tested in adults with ADHD. The research measures heartbeats.

If you're autistic and becoming more aware of the sensory input that regularly overwhelms your system, there's a lot happening inside you and much of it probably feels unfamiliar. 1/3

Somebody told you the signal was obvious. You could not find it, so you filed that as evidence about your character.

Researchers are still arguing about whether the difference is even there. Small samples, no agreement.

Postdoc job alert! I’m looking for someone with a PhD in neuroscience/psychology, psychiatry, computational modeling or a related field to join my NIH-funded team at UCLA studying the neural & computational mechanisms of #interoception in anorexia nervosa 1/2
