Interoception is critically important for allostatic adaptation and emotional regulation, and aberrant interoceptive processing is increasingly recognized to be involved in the pathogenesis of neurological, psychiatric and cardiovascular diseases. Despite the fact that interoceptive abilities decline with age, the corresponding neural correlates and clinical consequences of these age-related changes have yet to be discovered. We present a dataset that contains task-based functional neuroimaging data from 50 adults aged 40–65 years and 12 adults aged 18–25 years who performed an fMRI-based heartbeat-detection task. Of the 62, 38 participants also took part in a rubber hand illusion experiment outside the scanner. While the dataset was mainly created to study age-related changes in interoception, it can also be used in body perception research in general. The provided group data may serve as a reference for clinical studies on interoception involving older adults.
