Abstract in brief

Interoception is about sensing internal bodily changes and is important for understanding cognition and emotions, but there's confusion about how to define and measure it.
The study supports a three-dimensional model of interoception: interoceptive accuracy (objective heartbeat detection), interoceptive sensibility (self-reported feelings about internal signals), and interoceptive awareness (metacognitive understanding of one's accuracy).
These three aspects are mostly independent, with some overlap only in highly accurate individuals, highlighting the importance of distinguishing between different facets of interoception to understand its role in mental health and behavior.]
