Design and Application of a New Automated Fluidic Visceral Stimulation Device for Human fMRI Studies of Interoception

Mapping the brain centers that mediate the sensory-perceptual processing of visceral afferent signals arising from the body (i.e., interoception) is useful both for characterizing normal brain activity and for understanding clinical disorders related to abnormal processing of visceral sensation.Here, we report a novel closed-system, electrohydrosta
