1) Interoception, the sense of the internal state of one's body, affects perceptions of personal and interpersonal space. Higher interoceptive accuracy predicts a narrower boundary of personal space. 2) Proximity to others impacts autonomic reactions like arousal, with increased reactions closer to one's body. Higher interceptive awareness mediates these interactions between internal state and perceptions of proximity. 3) Synchronous cardio-visual stimulation can increase identification with another person's face, showing the role of interoception in perceptions of self and other. Interoceptive accuracy also predicts changes in body ownership.
