  3. 7. Quantifying perception of the internal : Investigating the temporal stability of temperature perception as an interoceptive measurement

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Adam Enmalm; [2020]
    Keywords : Interoception; interoceptive accuracy; thermal perception; reliability;

    Abstract : Interoception refers to the sensation of internal bodily signals. When studying sensory perception, one needs measurements for assessing individual abilities. Individual interoceptive abilities have mostly been measured by a heartbeat counting task, however recent criticism towards the validity of the task has surfaced. READ MORE
