Table 2 Pearson correlation coefficients r, p values and Bayes Factor (BF) for correlations between heartbeat sensation temporal and spatial perception parameters, confidence, and psychometric/demographic parameters (BMI = body mass index; BDI = depression scores; STAI-S = anxiety state scores; STAI-T = anxiety trait scores; TAS = alexithymia scores). BF supporting evidence for a relationship (BF > 3) or supporting the absence of a relationship (BF < 1/3) between the variables are represented in bold.
