Traditionally, interoception refers to the representation of the inner body, including processes by which an organism senses, interprets, and integrates signals from the body. Previous studies have shown the importance of interoception in emotions, decision-making, and mental health. Recently, the concept of interoception has been expanded to include the dynamic and mutual signaling processes between the brain and body to regulate homeostatic functions and to adjust adaptive behaviors. Computational models, such as predictive coding, have been applied to draw interoception mechanisms, and the anatomical and functional neural underpinnings of interoception have been explored. However, the impacts of recent developments in the understanding of interoception on psychological science are still not fully elucidated. This special issue aims to showcase recent empirical and theoretical advances in psychological research on interoception. We welcome not only basic studies using neuroimaging, psychophysiological, and psychophysical methods, but also studies examining the implications of interoception on social, cultural, and clinical domains. We also welcome meta-analyses and reviews that correspond with the aim of the topic.
