Knowing How I Feel: The Role of Interoception in Emotion Processing and Regulation

Sunday, May 28, 2017 · Boston, MA

Personality/Emotion

Interoception, the representation and integration of information about bodily states, contributes to the experience and regulation of emotion. In this symposium, we present converging work from four independent laboratories characterizing the behavioral and neural mechanisms by which interoception facilitates emotional processing, and how this differs across development, health, and disease.
