Summary
This study tests two different mental strategies—focusing on heartbeat versus a broader body awareness—to see which one better activates a key brain region called the anterior insula. Sixty healthy adults will use real-time fMRI to learn these techniques. The goal is to understand how the brain processes internal body signals, which may inform future treatments for emotional disorders.
