ASSOCIATION FOR THE SCIENTIFIC STUDY OF CONSCIOUSNESS

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 theenvironment, no study has explored their monitoring of internal body signals (2), aprocess known to be affected in anxiety-related syndromes (3).Our aim was to explore distinctive behavioral and electrophysiological aspects ofinternal-cue monitoring in OCD, while examining their specificity to this condition.
