HEP may index stress effects on heart-brain coupling; hypothesis-generating for interoception research.
The heartbeat-evoked potential may serve as a valuable neurophysiological marker for understanding heart-brain integration and the mechanisms underlying acute and chronic stress responses.
Virjee et al. (2026) conducted a review in Stress. Heartbeat-evoked potential (HEP) was evaluated. The heartbeat-evoked potential (HEP) is highlighted as a promising neurophysiological marker of heart-brain integration for advancing the understanding of acute and chronic stress responses.
