Sensing internal bodily signals, or interoception, is fundamental to maintain life. However,
interoception should not be viewed as an isolated domain, as it interacts with exteroception …

Scientific interest in the brain and body interactions has been surging in recent years. One
fundamental yet underexplored aspect of brain and body interactions is the link between the …

Deliberate control of the breath (breathwork) has recently received an unprecedented surge
in public interest and breathing techniques have therapeutic potential to improve mental …

Behavioural and electrophysiological studies point to an apparent influence of the state of
respiration, ie, whether we inhale or exhale, on brain activity and cognitive performance …

The aim of this experiment was to test the immediate effects of slow-paced breathing on
executive function. Slow-paced breathing is suggested to increase cardiac vagal activity …

Abstract Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is a modality of treatment in which patients
inhale 100% oxygen inside a hyperbaric chamber pressurised to greater than 1 atmosphere …

Previous single-brain studies suggested interoception plays a role in interpersonal
synchronization. The aim of the present study was to assess the electrophysiological …

Recent studies in animals have convincingly demonstrated that respiration cyclically
modulates oscillatory neural activity across diverse brain areas. To what extent this …

The α phase has been theorized to reflect fluctuations in cortical excitability and thereby
impose a cyclic influence on visual perception. Despite its appeal, this notion is not fully …

Objectives Self-regulation practices, such as meditation, have been shown to influence
neural and cardiac activities, which are critical for managing stress and emotions. However …
