Interoception
Interoception can be defined as the sense of the physiological condition of the entire body (Craig 2002). Interoceptive information includes sensations such as temperature, pain, itch, tickle, sensual touch, muscular and visceral sensations, vasomotor flush, hunger, thirst, air hunger and others. Interoception has long been thought to be critical for self-awareness because it provides the link between cognitive and affective processes and the current body state.
