Summary
This study aims to identify the brain regions responsible for encoding cardiorespiratory
'interoceptive' sensations and determine whether they are dysfunctional in individuals
affected by eating disorders, anxiety, depression, or brain injury. By evaluating the same
interoceptive sensations across different human illnesses, the investigators hope to provide
convergent evidence resulting in identification of core underlying neural processes, and to
discern relative contributions in each condition.
