“…Furthermore, relationships have been reported between the insula with decision making performance ( Werner et al, 2013 ) and interoceptive abilities and decision making performance ( Herman and Tsakiris, 2021 ). It has been hypothesized as well that there is a close interaction between interoception and our interactions with the external world, for instance, in perspective-taking and impulsive behavior ( Baiano et al, 2021a , 2021b ).…”

“…However, these methodologies rely on the measurements of causal modulations without considering the physiological priors, which could emerge from casual and not causal co-varying of brain-heart oscillations, as occurs in machine learning models trained with a pattern-based logic ( Ramezanian-Panahi et al, 2022 ). A proposed solution is the modeling of bidirectional interactions through a generative approach ( Ramezanian-Panahi et al, 2022 ; Ramstead et al, 2022 ), considering the ongoing modulations between brain and cardiac oscillations ( Candia-Rivera et al, 2021b , 2022a ), in which two physiologically-inspired models of synthetic ECG and EEG series are coupled considering their mutual influences in the ongoing oscillations at different latencies, on the basis of a generative signal.…”

Recent experimental evidence on patients with disorders of consciousness revealed that observing brain-heart interactions helps to detect residual consciousness, even in patients with absence of behavioral signs of consciousness. Those findings support hypotheses suggesting that visceral activity is involved in the neurobiology of consciousness, and sum to the existing evidence in healthy participants in which the neural responses to heartbeats reveal perceptual and self-consciousness. More evidence obtained through mathematical modeling of physiological dynamics revealed that emotion processing is prompted by an initial modulation from ascending vagal inputs to the brain, followed by sustained bidirectional brain-heart interactions. Those findings support long-lasting hypotheses on the causal role of bodily activity in emotions, feelings, and potentially consciousness. In this paper, the theoretical landscape on the potential role of heartbeats in cognition and consciousness is reviewed, as well as the experimental evidence supporting these hypotheses. I advocate for methodological developments on the estimation of brain-heart interactions to uncover the role of the heart in the origin, levels, and contents of consciousness. The ongoing evidence depicts interactions further than the cortical responses evoked by each heartbeat, suggesting the potential presence of non-linear, complex, and bidirectional communications between brain and heartbeat dynamics. Further developments on methodologies to analyze brain-heart interactions may contribute to a better understanding of the physiological dynamics involved in homeostatic-allostatic control, cognitive functions, and consciousness.

“…Classically, interoception has been related to impulsivity traits [ 17 ] as a mediator system between cognitive control and the impulsive system [ 18 ], with physiological cues that have been considered behavioral guides of behaviors in specific risk-taking scenarios [ 19 ]. Recent literature has corroborated this evidence, integrating impulsivity and interoceptive multi-dimensional constructs and showing that interoceptive sensibility has contributed to emotional impulsivity, while interoceptive accuracy is related to non-planning impulsivity [ 20 ]. Interoception has also been associated with the experience and estimation of time in the general population, showing a blending between these two constructs [ 21 ].…”

Purpose Time evaluation has been poorly studied in eating disorder (ED) patients despite its relationship with body awareness, which is a core psychopathological feature in EDs and is influenced by impulsivity, interoception, and working memory. This study aims to evaluate time estimation and its accuracy across the ED spectrum in connection with specific and general psychopathology. Methods A group of 215 women was enrolled in a computerized task involving the estimation of 1-min intervals. Impulsivity and body awareness constructs (self-monitoring, depersonalization, interoceptive deficit) were evaluated and examined for significant correlations with time estimation and the accuracy of the measure. Results Patients with EDs showed an impaired ability to estimate time, with an accuracy that positively correlated with compulsive self-monitoring (p = 0.03). Differences between diagnostic subgroups showed an overestimation of time in anorexia nervosa patients and an underestimation of time in binge eating disorder patients, whose time estimation was also less accurate. Conclusion The relationship between time estimation and compulsive self- monitoring might corroborate the presence of an imbalanced integration of information in patients with EDs that was not present in the community women included in the study. Time perception should be further evaluated in the ED field, and longitudinal changes due to psychopathological recovery or BMI changes should be examined. Level of evidence Level III: Evidence obtained from a well-designed cohort or case–control analytic study.
