Quigley] … who co-direct the Interdisciplinary Affective Science Laboratory at Northeastern University and Massachusetts General Hospital, explain how these budgetary activities, and the bodily sensations they create, suggest surprising connections between brain, mind, body, and world.” Read https://neilgreenberg.com/ao-reading-senses-interoception-from-cerebrum-2021/(=https://dana.org/article/interoception-the-secret-ingredient/)
