Daniel Zimprich contributed to methodological debate about measuring interoception with the heartbeat counting task. His analysis examines how the construction of an accuracy score can affect statistical relationships involving that score. The contribution distinguishes criticism of a scoring rule from a demonstration that a participant actually detected individual heartbeats, connecting measurement design to interpretation of a psychological attribute.

A researcher who coauthored experiments distinguishing objective interoceptive accuracy, subjective sensibility and metacognitive awareness. Separating performance from confidence clarified why one questionnaire or task cannot stand for every aspect of interoception.[ref]
