Exploring Individual Differences in Interoception Among Athletes Based on a Three-Dimensional Construct of Interoception.

Previous studies demonstrated that sensorimotor training enhances interoceptive abilities. Athletes are highly engaged in performance-driven physical training and often incorporate-to varying degrees-sensorimotor training into their routines. In this study, we investigated the role of individual differences in interoception by comparing professional athletes of different performance levels and both sexes with recreational athletes and controls, applying a three-dimensional model of interoception.

Rapid and Direct Detection of Trimethylamine N-oxide Using an Off-Chip Capacitance Biosensor with Readout SoC for Early-Stage Thrombosis and Cardiovascular Disease.

A demonstration of an off-chip capacitance array sensor with a limit of detection of 1 μM trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) to diagnose a chronic metabolism disease in urine is presented. The improved Cole-Cole model is employed to determine the parameters of , , and , enabling the prediction of the catalytic resistance of enzyme, reduction effects of the analyte, and characterize the small signal alternating current properties of ionic strength caused by catalysis. Based on the standard solutions, we investigate the effects of pixel geometry parameters, driving electrode width, and sensing electrode width on the electrical field change of the off-chip capacitance sensor; the proposed off-chip sensor with readout system-on-chip exhibits a high sensitivity of 21 analog-to-digital converter counts/μM TMAO (or 2.
