Sensory–cognitive functions are intertwined with physiological processes such as the heart beat or respiration. For example, we tend to align our respiratory cycle expected events actions. This happens during sports but also in computer-based tasks and systematically structures phase around relevant events. However, studies show that trial-by-trial variations shape brain activity speed accuracy of individual responses. We both phenomena—the alignment respiration explanatory power on behaviour—co-exist. In fact, average an relative experimental trials trial-to-trial hold significant predictive behavioural performance, particular for reaction times. co-modulation behaviour emerges regardless whether generally breathes faster slower is strongest about 2 s prior participant’s The persistence these effects across 12 datasets 277 participants performing sensory–cognitive confirms robustness results, suggests a profound time-lagged influence structured sensory–motor

Cardiac interoception is important for health and can be assessed in terms of accuracy (IAcc) sensibility (IS), at least. While IAcc measures the correspondence between recorded perceived heartbeats, IS means confidence interoceptive perceptions during task. The present study investigated if brain activity heartbeat tracking task associated with as well IS. Specifically, we were interested task-related power (TRP) alpha band (8-12 Hz), known to indicate task-specific cognitive functions such semantic, attentional, sensory processes, IS, respectively. In a sample 30 participants, found relatively higher TRP over left temporal parietal areas (vs. right) Furthermore, observed negative association Lower might that more pronounced processes are linked positive effect (independent from IS), which internal attention beneficial IAcc.

Abstract The cardiovascular and respiratory systems are anatomically functionally integrated within the cardio-respiratory system. This close connection suggests that breathing continuously shapes cardiac interoceptive perception. Previously, we demonstrated interactions in heartbeat-evoked potential, a neural marker of cortical processing signals. Specifically, observed enhanced late potential positivity greater accuracy during exhalation compared to inhalation participants engaged tasks. Here, extended these findings time-frequency domain by reanalysing our previous dataset. We investigated heartbeat-modulated oscillations, examining power, inter-trial coherence, functional connectivity across cycle at rest, task (heartbeat counting), an exteroceptive control (cardiac-tone counting). Results revealed heartbeat counting task, heartbeat-related increased inhalation, particularly alpha theta frequency bands. These effects were primarily localized right fronto-centro-parietal electrodes. Furthermore, identified interactive relationships between oscillations band predicted accuracy. independent physiology absent task. proposed model framework predictive coding, suggesting occur multiple levels hierarchy: peripheral, brainstem, cortical. Our interpretation highlights role alpha-band modulations enhancing precision-weighting prediction errors, thereby facilitating attentional allocation signals suppression task-irrelevant distractors, exhalation.

Background/Objectives: The physiological basis underlying symptomatic versus asymptomatic premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) remains poorly understood. However, PVCs can significantly impair quality of life. In patients without structural heart disease, symptom intensity is crucial for guiding management strategies and determining the need medical or surgical intervention. this study, we aimed, first time, to examine associations between PVC symptoms cardiac interoception. Methods: This study included 34 participants with (20 women; median age = 42 years; 17 had PVCs) concomitant disorders. Interoception was assessed through interoceptive accuracy (IA) probed by two behavioral tests—mental tracking (MT) heartbeat detection (HBD)—and neurophysiological marker interoception, heartbeat-evoked potentials (HEPs). Symptom scores reported served as response variable in regression analysis, IA HEP predictors. Other factors such sex, age, percent body fat, trait anxiety, alexithymia were added models confounding variables. Results: IAMT higher PVCs. modulation HBD task associated intensity. A combined model incorporating both metrics showed highest predictive severity. Adding variables improved (lower AIC); however, only male sex emerged a significant negative predictor Conclusions: Our findings confirm association interoception Integrating measures enhances prediction accuracy, suggesting new ways develop diagnostic non-invasive treatment targeting management.
