EXPRESS: Interoception - where do we go from here?

Published in: Quarterly journal of experimental psychology (2006) (2023)
In recent years, there has been a significant rise in interest in interoception, the processing of internal bodily signals. This interest has been coupled by rising concerns regarding the measurement and conceptualisation of interoception. Focusing on cardiac interoceptive accuracy, I outline what I believe to be the most pressing issues in the field of interoception - specifically the continued reliance on the heartbeat counting task. I then provide an overview of what I believe to be more general limitations concerning how we measure and conceptualise individual differences in interoception and suggestions for a way forward.
