Mean values ± standard deviations of cardiac parameters (RSA =  Respiratory Sinus Arrhytmia and HR =  Heart Rate) and Subjective rating of Comfort for the High and the Low interoception Groups. RSA and HR are reported as changes from the resting baseline values. NS =  Near-peripersonal Space; IS =  Intermediate-Peripersonal Space; FS =  Far-peripersonal Space; bpm =  beats per minute.
