Enhanced-Beat: Interoceptive-Focused Virtual Reality for Enhanced Well-Being in Healthy and Clinical Populations

Interoception is defined as the sense of the physiological condition of the entire body. The interoceptive system is crucial for maintaining the body's homeostasis and overall well-being and is composed of a complex neural network that connects the organs to the brain. This system transmits signals via small-diameter afferent Aδ and C fibers, which end in the dorsal horns of the spinal cord in the lamina I system.
