Enteric brain · Gut–Brain Axis & Interoception

Interoceptive Accuracy

How precisely a person senses internal signals such as heartbeat and gut motility; it varies widely and predicts how much bodily signals sway their judgment.

An everyday example

London traders who detected their own heartbeats more accurately earned more and survived longer on the floor.

What it can cost you

High accuracy amplifies whatever the body signals — helpful when the body is calibrated to the domain, harmful when it is reacting to something irrelevant.

Warning signs

  • I feel physical signals strongly and act on them fast.
  • I have never checked my gut's track record by domain.

One thing to do

Train the read and the check together: notice the signal, then test it against one external fact before acting.
