Interoceptive Attentiveness fMRI Task
Unreviewed
The Interoceptive Attentiveness fMRI Task is a functional magnetic resonance imaging assay of the ability to deploy attention toward information that is internal (i.e., inside the body) versus external (e.g., outside the body). In this task brain activation is measured while the participant is asked to alternate between turning their attention inward (‘Interoception’ condition) and outward (‘Exteroception’ condition). The interoceptive target can be any internal body organ, such as the heart, bladder, stomach, or lungs, although a focus on the heart and the sensations of heartbeats is most commonly used. The exteroceptive target is typically a standard external attention task, such as monitoring for changes in visual stimuli that appear on the screen, as in the widely used Continuous Performance Test.

Experimental conditions are the subsets of an experiment that define the relevant experimental manipulation.
CONTRASTS
In the Cognitive Atlas, we define a contrast as any function over experimental conditions. The simplest contrast is the indicator value for a specific condition; more complex contrasts include linear or nonlinear functions of the indicator across different experimental conditions.
INDICATORS
No indicators have yet been associated.
An indicator is a specific quantitative or qualitative variable that is recorded for analysis. These may include behavioral variables (such as response time, accuracy, or other measures of performance) or physiological variables (including genetics, psychophysiology, or brain imaging data).
