Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) patients typically overmonitor their own behavior, as shown by symptoms of excessive doubt and checking (1). Although this is well established for the patients? relationship with external stimuli in the environment, no study has explored their monitoring of internal body signals (2), a process known to be affected in anxiety-related syndromes (3). it is not unknown area which science can contribute much to the psychopathology of OCD. Our aim was to explore distinctive behavioral and electrophysiological aspects of internal-cue monitoring in OCD, while examining their specificity to this condition.
