Interoceptive Interventions: Interfacing with Inner States by Jain, Abhinandan

“…These prototypes target specific pathways to enable on-demand emotion elicitation, emotion regulation and sleep regulation for users, while also providing potential non pharmacological interventions for conditions like insomnia, depression, and anxiety. This thesis aims to make a twofold contribution: First, it introduces a conceptual framework that highlights how interfacing with unconscious bodily processes opens up new possibilities for human computer interface design. …”
