  Increasing individuals' awareness of their own body signals can lead to
improved interoception, enabling the brain to estimate current body states more
accurately and in a timely manner. However, certain body signals, such as eye
movements, often go unnoticed by individuals themselves. This study aimed to
test the hypothesis that providing eye-movement-correlated tactile feedback on
the body enhances individuals' awareness of their attentive states,
subsequently improving attention. Our results demonstrate the effectiveness of
such feedback in redirecting and enhancing attention, particularly in the
presence of distractions during long-duration tasks. Additionally, we observed
that people's gaze behaviors changed in response to the tactile feedback,
suggesting an increased self-awareness of current eye movements and attentive
states. Ultimately, these changes in gaze behaviors contribute to the
modulation of attentive states. Our findings highlight the potential of
eye-movement-correlated bodily tactile feedback to increase individuals'
self-awareness of their eye movements and attentive states. By providing
real-time feedback through tactile stimuli, we can actively engage individuals
in regulating their attention and enhancing their overall performance.
