Somatosensory false feedback biases emotional ratings through interoceptive embodiment.

Scientific Reports April 3, 2025 Joel Patchitt, Sarah N. Garfinkel, William H Strawson et al. 4 citations

Mismatches between perceived and veridical physiological signals during false feedback (FFB) can bias emotional judgements. Paradigms using auditory FFB suggest perceived changes in heart rate (HR) increase ratings of emotional intensity irrespective of feedback type (increased or decreased HR), implicating right anterior insula as a mismatch comparator between exteroceptive and interoceptive...

Dissociative Symptoms and Interoceptive Integration.

Current Topics in Behavioral Neurosciences 2025 Sascha P Woelk, Sarah N. Garfinkel 8 citations

Dissociative symptoms and disorders of dissociation are characterised by disturbances in the experience of the self and the surrounding world, manifesting as a breakdown in the normal integration of consciousness, memory, identity, emotion, and perception. This paper aims to provide insights into dissociative symptoms from the perspective of interoception, the sense of the body's internal...

The entropic heart: Tracking the psychedelic state via heart rate dynamics

bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory) November 9, 2023 Fernando E. Rosas, Pedro A. M. Mediano, Christopher Timmermann et al. 14 citations preprint

A growing body of work shows that autonomic signals provide a privileged evidence-stream to capture various aspects of subjective and neural states. This work investigates the potential for autonomic markers to track the effects of psychedelics — potent psychoactive drugs with important scientific and clinical value. For this purpose, we introduce a novel Bayesian framework to estimate the...

Impairment of perceptual metacognitive accuracy and reduced prefrontal grey matter volume in first-episode psychosis

Cognitive Neuropsychiatry February 27, 2018 Geoff Davies, Charlotte L. Rae, Sarah N. Garfinkel et al. 23 citations

INTRODUCTION: Metacognition, or "thinking about thinking", is a higher-order thought process that allows for the evaluation of perceptual processes for accuracy. Metacognitive accuracy is associated with the grey matter volume (GMV) in the prefrontal cortex (PFC), an area also impacted in schizophrenia. The present study set out to investigate whether deficits in metacognitive accuracy are...

Multisensory integration across exteroceptive and interoceptive domains modulates self-experience in the rubber-hand illusion

Neuropsychologia August 28, 2013 Keisuke Suzuki, Sarah N. Garfinkel, Hugo Critchley et al. 491 citations

Identifying with a body is central to being a conscious self. The now classic "rubber hand illusion" demonstrates that the experience of body-ownership can be modulated by manipulating the timing of exteroceptive (visual and tactile) body-related feedback. Moreover, the strength of this modulation is related to individual differences in sensitivity to internal bodily signals (interoception)....
