Summary
Summary: They recently found higher HEP amplitude during exhalation than during inhalation during a task that involved attention to cardiac sensations. This may have been due to reduced cardiac perception during inhalation and heightened perception during exhalation, mediated by attentional mechanisms. To investigate relationships between HEP, attention, and respiration, they introduced an experimental setup that included tasks related to cardiac and respiratory interoceptive and exteroceptive a...
