TLDR
This work describes the afferent signalling, central processing, and neural and mental representation of internal bodily signals in interoception, and describes the recognition of dissociable psychological dimensions of interoceptions.Abstract:
Influential theories suggest emotional feeling states arise from physiological changes from within the body. Interoception describes the afferent signalling, central processing, and neural and mental representation of internal bodily signals. Recent progress is made in conceptualizing interoception and its neural underpinnings. These developments are supported by empirical data concerning interoceptive mechanisms and their contribution to emotion. Fresh insights include description of short-term interoceptive effects on neural and mental processes (including fear-specific cardiac effects), the recognition of dissociable psychological dimensions of interoception, and models of interoceptive predictive coding that explain emotions and selfhood (reinforced by structural anatomical models and brain and experimental findings). This growing grasp of interoception is enriching our understanding of emotion and its disorders.read more

The neurobiology of interoception in health and disease
TL;DR: A neurobiological overview of interoception is presented and how interoceptive impairments at different levels relate to specific physical and mental health conditions, including sickness behaviors and fatigue, depression, eating disorders, autism, and anxiety are described.

Interoceptive Awareness Skills for Emotion Regulation: Theory and Approach of Mindful Awareness in Body-Oriented Therapy (MABT).
Cynthia J. Price,Carole Hooven +1 more
TL;DR: A mind-body therapeutic approach called mindful awareness in body-oriented therapy (MABT), uniquely designed to teach fundamental skills of interoceptive awareness, is described, and MABT develops the distinct interOceptive awareness capacities of identifying, accessing, and appraising internal bodily signals that are identified in physiological models as the critical components ofInteroception for emotion regulation.

The Heartbeat Counting Task Largely Involves non-Interoceptive Processes: Evidence from both the Original and an Adapted Counting Task
TL;DR: The HCT task is largely contaminated by the influence of non-interoceptive processes, and IAcc scores are drastically reduced when asking participants to avoid relying on non-Interoceptive signals and to only report the heartbeats they perceive.

TL;DR: Direct evidence that the heartbeat evoked potential (HEP) is modulated by pure attention is provided and it is suggested that this effect may provide a clinically relevant readout for assessing interoception.

The influence of physiological signals on cognition
TL;DR: The impact of interoceptive signals on cognitive processes is described, which includes concepts of the ‘Bayesian brain’ and active inference to feeling states, agency and embodiment.

Gut feelings: the emerging biology of gut–brain communication
TL;DR: A complex, bidirectional communication system that not only ensures the proper maintenance of gastrointestinal homeostasis and digestion but is likely to have multiple effects on affect, motivation and higher cognitive functions, including intuitive decision making is revealed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interoceptive inference, emotion, and the embodied self
TL;DR: A predictive, inferential perspective on interoception: 'interoceptive inference' conceives of subjective feeling states (emotions) as arising from actively-inferred generative (predictive) models of the causes of interoceptive afferents.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interoceptive predictions in the brain
TL;DR: The Embodied Predictive Interoception Coding model is introduced, which integrates an anatomical model of corticocortical connections with Bayesian active inference principles, to propose that agranular visceromotor cortices contribute to interoception by issuing interoceptive predictions.

TL;DR: Empirical support for dissociation between dimensions of interoceptive accuracy, sensibility and awareness is provided and set the context for defining how the relative balance of accuracy, Sensibility and Awareness dimensions explain cognitive, emotional and clinical associations of interOceptive ability.

The theory of constructed emotion: an active inference account of interoception and categorization.
TL;DR: This article begins with the structure and function of the brain, and from there deduce what the biological basis of emotions might be, and concludes that the answer is a brain-based, computational account called the theory of constructed emotion.
