Super interested in this, wish it would trickle down into clinical practice for my work with chronic vestibular/chronic pain patients (in <25 years, ideally)
We invested several years into developing new methods for quantifying interoception and I feel like it’s really starting to pay off as we start to get very elegant results from both case controlled and intervention studies. Might actually be into something here! New preprint soon…

Rob Saka says Asian people are feeling a sense of loss right now because Tanya Woo is no longer going to be on the council. "This is a sad moment," Saka says, adding that "you've earned the right to be here." Woo, who was appointed after losing, lost her second election by 17 points
