“…In fact, a number of factors like interoception, vestibular processing, a pronounced visual dependence, a specific cognitive ability for mental rotations, or user traits and habits like empathy and video games practice may interfere with the multifaceted construct of bodily self-consciousness, the conscious experience of owning a body in space from which the world is perceived. …”

Increasing empathic concern relates to salience network hyperconnectivity in cognitively healthy older adults with elevated amyloid-β burden by Tiffany E. Chow, Christina R. Veziris, Renaud La Joie, Alex J. Lee, Jesse A. Brown, Jennifer S. Yokoyama, Katherine P. Rankin, Joel H. Kramer, Bruce L. Miller, Gil D. Rabinovici, William W. Seeley, Virginia E. Sturm

“…These results suggest gains in empathic concern may be a very early feature of AD pathophysiology that relates to hyperconnectivity in the salience network, a system that supports emotion generation and interoception. A better understanding of emotional empathy trajectories in the early stages of AD pathophysiology will broaden the lens on preclinical AD changes and help clinicians to identify older adults who should be screened for AD biomarkers.…”

Ghrelin signalling in AgRP neurons links metabolic state to the sensory regulation of AgRP neural activity by Wang Lok So, Jiachen Hu, Lotus Jeffs, Harry Dempsey, Sarah H. Lockie, Jeffrey M. Zigman, Romana Stark, Alex Reichenbach, Zane B. Andrews

“…Objective: The sensory detection of food and food cues suppresses Agouti related peptide (AgRP) neuronal activity prior to consumption with greatest suppression occurring in response to highly caloric food or interoceptive energy need. However, the interoceptive mechanisms priming an appropriate AgRP neural response to external sensory information of food availability remain unexplored. …”

The Mediating Role of Negative Mood States and Body Responsiveness in the Associations of Mindfulness and Self-Compassion with Life Satisfaction by Zeynep Aydın Sünbül, Neslihan Arıcı Özcan

“…The results yielded that mindfulness and self-compassion have significantly negative relationships with negative mood states and perceived disconnection, while they have a significantly positive relationship with the importance of interoceptive awareness. Self-compassion and importance of interoceptive awareness were found to be significantly and positively related to life satisfaction, while negative mood states had a significantly negative relationship with life satisfaction. …”

A predictive model for understanding the role of emotion for the formation of presence in virtual reality. by Crescent Jicol, Hoi Ying Cheng, Karin Petrini, Eamonn O'Neill

“…Users' expectations, state of arousal and personality may also moderate the relationship between emotions and presence. An interoceptive predictive coding model of conscious presence (IPCM) considers presence as a product of the match between predictions of interoceptive emotional states and the actual states evoked by an experience (Seth et al. 2012). …”

Exploring The Impact of Simulated Transfer of Sensory Experience on Social Behavior and Empathy by Morris, Caitlin

“…In this thesis, I propose methods for simulating the transfer of elements of first-person sensory experience between individuals, particularly interoceptive or internal-sensing experiences which are typically felt within an individual’s body and not communicated externally. …”

Furthering the multi-route model of alexithymia: a constructionist perspective by Lee, KK-S
