Interoceptive inference, emotion, and the embodied self
TLDR
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.About:

The cybernetic Bayesian brain: from interoceptive inference to sensorimotor contingencies
TL;DR: Predictive processing can account not only for perception, cognition, but also for action and for the essential contribution of the body and environment in structuring sensorimotor interactions as mentioned in this paper.

Finding the self by losing the self: Neural correlates of ego‐dissolution under psilocybin
Alexander V. Lebedev,Alexander V. Lebedev,Martin Lövdén,Gidon Rosenthal,Amanda Feilding,David J. Nutt,Robin L. Carhart-Harris +6 more
TL;DR: The results implicate MTL‐cortical decoupling, decreased salience network integrity, and reduced inter‐hemispheric communication in psilocybin‐induced ego disturbance and suggest that the maintenance of “self”or “ego,” as a perceptual phenomenon, may rest on the normal functioning of these systems.

Towards a psychophysics of interoceptive processes: the measurement of heartbeat detection
Jasper Brener,Christopher Ring +1 more
TL;DR: There has been little standardization and the two most popular methods for assessing heartbeat detection, heartbeat tracking and two alternative forced choice methods, appear to be biased and of questionable validity.

The Senses of Agency and Ownership: A Review.
Niclas Braun,Niclas Braun,Stefan Debener,Nadine Spychala,Edith Bongartz,Peter Sörös,Helge H. O. Müller,Alexandra Philipsen +7 more
TL;DR: This review introduces both concepts, with a special focus also onto their interplay, and current experimental paradigms, results and neurocognitive theories about both concepts will be presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the origin of interoception.
TL;DR: A definition of interoception as based on subjective experience is proposed, and pleas for the use of specific vocabulary in addressing the many aspects that contribute to it are made.

How do you feel--now? The anterior insula and human awareness.
TL;DR: New findings suggest a fundamental role for the AIC (and the von Economo neurons it contains) in awareness, and thus it needs to be considered as a potential neural correlate of consciousness.

The Feeling of What Happens: Body and Emotion in the Making of Consciousness
TL;DR: The Feeling of What Happens as mentioned in this paper is a theory of the nature of consciousness and the construction of the self, which is the feeling of what happens-our mind noticing the body's reaction to the world and responding to that experience.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cognitive, social, and physiological determinants of emotional state.
TL;DR: The problem of which cues, internal or external, permit a person to label and identify his own emotional state has been with us since the days that James (1890) first tendered his doctrine that "the bodily changes follow directly the perception of the exciting fact, and that our feeling of the same changes as they occur is the emotion" (p. 449) as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
How do you feel? Interoception: the sense of the physiological condition of the body.
TL;DR: Functional anatomical work has detailed an afferent neural system in primates and in humans that represents all aspects of the physiological condition of the physical body that might provide a foundation for subjective feelings, emotion and self-awareness.

Saliency, switching, attention and control: a network model of insula function
Vinod Menon,Lucina Q. Uddin +1 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that this framework provides a parsimonious account of insula function in neurotypical adults, and may provide novel insights into the neural basis of disorders of affective and social cognition.
