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:

Attitudes towards Personhood in the Locked-in Syndrome: from Third- to First- Person Perspective and to Interpersonal Significance
Marie-Christine Nizzi,Marie-Christine Nizzi,Veronique Blandin,Athena Demertzi,Athena Demertzi +4 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a survey with patients with LIS aimed at identifying the primary expectations of patients for their care by non-medical professionals was conducted, based on these first-hand reports, they argue that personhood in LIS is progressively regained as the widening circle of others recognizes them as persons.

Unfurling the wings of flight: clarifying ‘the what’ and ‘the why’ of mental imagery use in dance
TL;DR: In this paper, mental images are invoked across sensory modalities and often combine interna-tional information, and the what and why of mental imagery use in dance is discussed.

Communication without consciousness: the theory of brain-sign
TL;DR: It is proposed that consciousness is not a scientific category, but by ‘postulating’ consciousness as self-explanation, the brain can communicate with other brains in collective action and generate a more plausible self-description as brainsign.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Role of Interoceptive Sensibility and Emotional Conceptualization for the Experience of Emotions
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated how individual differences in interoceptive sensibility and emotional conceptualization interact to moderate three important aspects of emotional experiences: emotional intensity (strength of emotion felt), arousal (degree of activation), and granularity (ability to differentiate emotions with precision).

Cardiac cycle modulates reward feedback processing: An ERP study.
TL;DR: The results showed that the FRN/RewP was larger for the systole trials than for the diastole trials, which was due to the modulation of gain rather than loss ERPs, providing evidence that the natural fluctuation of cardiac afferent signals can modulate the evaluative processing of feedback.

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.

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.
