Weaker implicit interoception is associated with more negative body image: Evidence from gastric-alpha phase amplitude coupling and the heartbeat evoked potential

Multiple dimensions of interoceptive awareness are associated with facets of body image in British adults.

Greater gastric interoception is associated with more positive body image: Evidence from adults in Malaysia and the United Kingdom.

An exploration of the associations between facets of interoceptive awareness and body image in adolescents.

The neurobiology of interoception in health and disease

A neurobiological overview of interoception is presented and how interoceptive impairments at different levels relate to specific physical and mental health conditions, including sickness behaviors and fatigue, depression, eating disorders, autism, and anxiety are described.

The Body across the Lifespan: On the Relation between Interoceptive Sensibility and High-Order Body Representations

The current results are consistent with inverted U-shaped developmental curves for action- and non-action-oriented BR, which could be negatively affected by higher interoceptive sensibility levels in childhood and late adulthood.

Investigating the Components of Body Image Disturbance Within Eating Disorders

A significant relationship was observed between specific perceptual measures and implicit body satisfaction, which highlights the important link between perceptual and cognitive-affective components of one’s body image.

The Body Across Adulthood: On the Relation Between Interoception and Body Representations

Bad performances on a task assessing the body schema were significantly associated with higher IS with older age, suggesting that higher awareness of one’s inner body sensations would decrease the plasticity of this BR.

There Are no Short-Term Longitudinal Associations Among Interoceptive Accuracy, External Body Orientation, and Body Image Dissatisfaction

Contrary to the tenets of objectification theory, body image dissatisfaction and body surveillance are not predicted by interoceptive accuracy over a short period of time among young individuals.

Altered Processing and Integration of Multisensory Bodily Representations and Signals in Eating Disorders: A Possible Path Toward the Understanding of Their Underlying Causes

It is suggested that the transdiagnostic centrality of shape and weight overvaluation symptoms in individuals with EDs may reflect a deficit in the processing and integration of multisensory bodily representations and signals.

Just a heartbeat away from one's body: interoceptive sensitivity predicts malleability of body-representations

The results suggest that interoceptive sensitivity predicts the malleability of body representations, that is, people with low interoception sensitivity experienced a stronger illusion of ownership in the RHI, suggesting thatInteroceptive awareness modulates the online integration of multi-sensory body-percepts.

What Is It Like to Have a Body?

Few issues in psychology are as fundamental or as elusive as the sense of one’s own body. Despite widespread recognition of the link between body and self, psychology has only recently developed…

The Contributions of Interoceptive Awareness to Cognitive and Affective Facets of Body Experience

Experience of one’s own body relies on signals arising within the body as well as on exteroceptive information, and on appraisal of cognitive and affective aspects of these signals. The present study…

The primary aim of this review article is to highlight recent advances in the study of body ownership and the understanding of the underlying neurocognitive processes in three ways, motivating a unified model of the self inspired by current predictive coding models.

An extended network associated with heart-focused interoceptive attentiveness including the posterior right and left insula, right claustrum, precentral gyrus and medial frontal gyrus is corroborated, including Right-hemispheric dominance emphasizes non-verbal information processing with the posterior insula presumably serving as the major gateway for cardioception.

Separating two components of body image in anorexia nervosa using fMRI

This study investigates the neural correlates of two parts of the own body image using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI): satisfaction rating and size estimation for distorted own body photographs in patients with anorexia nervosa and controls and specific behavioral responses and neural activation patterns for two part of body image in anorexic patients and healthy controls.

Body Conscious? Interoceptive Awareness, Measured by Heartbeat Perception, Is Negatively Correlated with Self-Objectification

Interoceptive awareness, assessed by heartbeat perception, is proposed as a measure of body awareness in self-objectification studies, and has implications for those clinical conditions, in women, which are characterised by self- objectification and low interoceptiveawareness, such as eating disorders.
