    This study introduces a new heartbeat tracking method to measure cardiac interoception. Good heartbeat perceivers showed higher heart rates and distinct emotional traits compared to poor perceivers.

    Area of Science:

    • Psychology
    • Physiology
    • Neuroscience

    Background:

    • Interoception, the sense of the internal state of the body, plays a crucial role in emotional processing.
    • Objective measures of cardiac interoception are needed to understand its link with emotionality.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate a novel heartbeat tracking technique for measuring cardiac interoception.
    • To explore differences in emotionality (gender, emotional character) between good and poor heartbeat perceivers.

    Main Methods:

    • Participants completed emotionality questionnaires.
    • Heartbeat tracking involved synchronizing finger taps with actual heartbeats (interoceptive) and recorded heartbeats (exteroceptive).
    • A perceptual index was derived from beat-to-tap latency variability.

    Main Results:

    • The heartbeat tracking index demonstrated concurrent validity as a measure of cardiac interoceptive acuity.
    • Individuals with better cardiac interoception (good perceivers) exhibited higher heart rates.
    • Good perceivers showed marginally significant trends towards higher state anxiety and reduced emotional expressiveness.

    Conclusions:

    • The novel heartbeat tracking technique shows promise for objectively assessing cardiac interoception.
    • Cardiac interoceptive ability may be associated with specific physiological and emotional characteristics.
    • Further research can utilize this technique to investigate the role of interoception in emotion.
