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:

Excite-O-Meter: Software Framework to Integrate Heart Activity in Virtual Reality
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an open-source software framework named Excite-O-Meter that allows existing VR applications to integrate, record, analyze, and visualize bodily signals from wearable sensors, with the example of cardiac activity (heart rate and its variability) from the chest strap Polar H10.
Journal ArticleDOI
Expecting the Unexpected
TL;DR: One of the aesthetic pleasures of reading literature is the discovery of the unexpected, the new, the surprising as discussed by the authors, i.e., the presentation of familiar concepts in an unfamiliar way, which is achieved by deviating from linguistic norms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cardiorespiratory rhythms, brain oscillatory activity and cognition: review of evidence and proposal for significance
TL;DR: In this article , the authors review existing evidence on how the electrophysiological activity of the brain on one hand, and perception or cognition on the other hand depend on the phase of the physiological cycles of the body, specifically those of the heartbeat and respiration.
Journal ArticleDOI
Semantic Predictability Facilitates Comprehension of Degraded Speech in a Graded Manner.
TL;DR: This article found that when there is no trial-by-trial variation of the levels of speech degradation, listeners adapt to low-level perceptual property (e.g., speech quality) at a short timescale.
Dissertation
Investigating misperceptions of visuotactile information, somatosensory amplification and illusory tactile sensations
TL;DR: The findings of this thesis can be used to help improve the treatment of patients with Medically Unexplained Symptoms by focusing on improving patients’ interpretation and perception of sensory signals.

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.
