Data Set Interoceptive Accuracy Scores From The Heartbeat Counting Task

Interoception, the capacity to perceive internal bodily states, is thought to influence cognitive, affective and interpersonal functioning. It is frequently assessed using the heartbeat counting task, introduced recently in interoceptive research. In this task participants are requested to count their heartbeats without relying on external cues. Interoceptive Accuracy (i.e., IAcc) scores are then computed based on absolute comparisons between actual and reported heartbeats. We uploaded here a large data set that includes the reported and actual number of heartbeats of N = 572 participants who performed the heartbeat counting task for three time intervals of 25s, 35s, and 45s.
