  1. SD = Standard Deviation. Statistic is Pearson’s correlation coefficient. Interoceptive accuracy is percent correct responses on heartbeat discrimination task, interoceptive confidence is average confidence rating and interoceptive awareness is meta-d’, the correspondence between accuracy and confidence estimated with maximum likelihood estimation. N refers to the total number of participants who had completed both the ‘long’ version of the mixed-reality task and each of the 5 variables. SWASH = Sussex-Waterloo Scale of Hypnotisability.
