A precise guide to acute stress physiology, timing, autonomic and HPA responses, recovery, and why activation is not the same as dysregulation
Research-led explanations of human capacity, learning and technological change. Start with the foundations, then follow the evidence and related ideas as the Library grows.
A precise guide to acute stress physiology, timing, autonomic and HPA responses, recovery, and why activation is not the same as dysregulation
An Institute synthesis that keeps body, perception, action and physiology inside serious evidence without turning sensation into an oracle
A critical evidence review of gut feelings, interoception, expertise and the conditions under which fast bodily judgments help or mislead
An evidence-aware application that moves from bodily sensation to candidate emotional language without pretending sensations carry one fixed meaning
How to use a common body-attention practice while keeping claims, outcomes, safety and interpretation inside the evidence
What a mixed-reality study of 154 people aged 7 to 80 found about sensory mismatch, age and the stability of body ownership
What a preregistered meta-analysis of 29 randomized trials actually found about mindfulness and self-reported interoception, why the effect is modest, and why it must not be translated into objective sensory accuracy
A focused reading of Zsembik, Oldroyd and Chen’s 2025 review of visceral pathways and emotion, with careful separation of modulation, causality and popular ‘gut feeling’ claims
A field-level reading of Greenwood and Garfinkel’s Annual Review: how afferent signals, accuracy, neural processing and interpretation interact with emotion, and where the clinical evidence remains thin
How synchronized vision and touch can alter body ownership, what subjective ownership and proprioceptive drift do and do not measure, and why the paradigm still matters for neuroscience and human-technology design
