The present study was designed to investigate the possibility of interoceptive detection of cardiac activity and the effects of concentration and knowledge of results, on it. Twenty college students and six grade holders in Karate formed three groups. Different types of exteroceptive tactile feedback signal for discrimination were used:(a) Signal that is contingent upon cardiac activity, and (b) one that is dependent on the pre-recorded cardiac events. The experiment consisted of three periods: Pre-Training, Training, and Post-Training. A significant over-all improvement in interoceptive cardiac detection was evidenced. In addition, differences were statistically found between the combined conditions of concentration and knowledge in Karate subjects and the students. While subjects' reports for discriminative cues suggest that the strength of concentration may be a relatively important factor in the interoceptive detection, it was recommended that further investigation examine it within the context of a combination of this training with an additional procedure.
