Overview

Exploration reveals how interoceptive accuracy influences timing in participants, highlighting connections to cardiac activity.

Key Points

  • Better interoceptive accuracy is linked to faster response speed in implicit timing tasks, suggesting enhanced motor readiness.
  • In explicit timing tasks, greater subjective confidence in heartbeat detection correlates with poorer performance, indicating potential over-reliance on interoceptive signals.
  • Higher vagal tone, suggested by elevated heart rate variability, is associated with a quicker rhythm in explicit timing tasks.
  • These findings underscore the distinct roles of cardiac interoception and activity in explicit versus implicit timing perception.
