About

Inner Pulse measures your interoceptive accuracy, which is your ability to sense your own heartbeat from the inside. Interoception is the body's ability to perceive its own internal signals: heartbeat, breathing, hunger, tension and so on. It is one of the most fundamental forms of body awareness. Research shows that people with stronger interoceptive accuracy tend to have better emotional regulation, greater stress resilience, and a clearer sense of their own mental and physical states. It plays a central role in how we experience emotions, as many feelings begin as physical sensations in the body before we consciously recognize them. The good news: interoceptive awareness can be trained. Paying deliberate attention to internal body signals, like your heartbeat, strengthens this ability over time. How it works: During each session, you silently count your heartbeats over three timed intervals (25, 35, and 45 seconds) without touching your wrist or chest. Your estimate is compared to the heart rate sensor, and you receive an accuracy score. Use the practice mode to quietly tune in to your heartbeat between test sessions. Features: - 3-round heartbeat perception test with instant accuracy feedback - Practice mode to develop your interoceptive awareness - Score history to track your progress over time - Clean, distraction-free interface
