Inside interoception: The hidden sense of how you feel inside

The article discusses interoception, the internal sense that allows the brain to perceive bodily states such as heart rate, temperature, and emotional responses without conscious awareness. It explains how the brain processes vast amounts of sensory input unconsciously, filtering out most information to focus on what is necessary for survival and decision-making. Neuroscientist Moriah Thomason comments on the importance of this unconscious processing.
