Objectives

Narrative objectives1

The aim of this study is to clarify the utility of the heaviness perception test in assessing interoception, with a view to its future application in young children. To achieve this, we will examine changes in test performance before and after heart rate variability biofeedback (HRVB) intervention in healthy university students.

Interventions/Control_1

Heart Rate Variability Biofeedback (HRVB): HRVB is a technique that provides feedback on heart rate variability (HRV) and guides individuals to enhance this variability. It generally involves breathing at a paced rhythm of approximately 10 seconds per cycle (0.1 Hz). The intervention will be conducted only once and will last for 20 minutes.

Interventions/Control_2

Normal Breathing (Control): In the condition involving paced breathing at a frequency of 0.25 Hz, a pacemaker guides participants to inhale for 2 seconds and exhale for 2 seconds.
