Speaker
Description
Recent years have witnessed a surge in interest in interoception, the body's internal signaling system. This goes far beyond its well-known role in regulating our physiology and energy demands. It's now understood to be a critical factor in shaping our sense of self and how we think and feel. This symposium delves into the complex relationships between our internal bodily sensations, emotions, and cognitive processes. By drawing on different perspectives, including cognitive sciences, the study of emotions in the brain (affective neuroscience), and the study of mind-body connections (psychophysiology), the four presentations aim to shed light on the mechanisms behind this fascinating interplay. Ultimately, they seek to deepen our understanding of how our emotions and thoughts work together to create our unique human experience.
