About

Teresa Fazia is a researcher whose work sits at the compelling intersection of interoception, neuroscience, and human physiology. Her primary research areas include cardiac awareness—the perception of internal bodily signals—and its influence on motor control, particularly postural balance. In her most cited work, "Exploring the relationship between cardiac awareness and balance" (2024), Fazia investigates how the perception of autonomic signals, such as heartbeat, may play a crucial role in maintaining stability. This study offers novel insights into the interplay between the nervous system and physical equilibrium, suggesting that interoceptive accuracy could be a key, underexplored factor in balance disorders. Though early in her citation impact, with 3 citations to date, this work is gaining traction for its innovative interdisciplinary approach. Fazia’s contributions are notable for bridging cognitive neuroscience and clinical applications, potentially informing rehabilitation strategies for patients with postural or autonomic dysfunction. Her research is a promising step toward understanding how our internal awareness shapes our physical interactions with the world.
