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 Variational Principles of Action
TL;DR: This chapter provides a theoretical perspective on action and the control of movement from the point of view of the free-energy principle, and the pre-eminent role of heteroclinic cycles in providing deep and dynamic models of the sensorium; particularly the sensations that the authors generate ourselves through action.

A predictive coding account of value-based learning in PTSD: Implications for precision treatments
TL;DR: In this article , predictive coding models of emotion offer a parsimonious framework to explain PTSD treatment response within a value-based decision-making framework, integrating the predictive coding elements of the perceived: self, world and self-in the world.
Dissertation
An investigation of self-biases in perception and visual perspective taking
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined how participants respond to third-person perspectives associated with self and other and found that participants showed superior performance when explicitly targeting a self-associated (vs. other-associated) 3PP.
Naturalizing the Unity of Consciousness: can neuroscience explain a fundamental feature of subjectivity?
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that the reason why some theories of consciousness lead to what Dennett calls Cartesian materialism is precisely because they fail to address the problem of the unity of consciousness.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effects of unpredictability and negative affect on perception and neural gating in different interoceptive modalities
TL;DR: In this paper , the effects of bodily threat on perception and neural gating of respiratory and somatosensory stimuli were examined, and it was found that the perceived intensity and unpleasantness of all stimuli, fear, trait NA and intolerance of uncertainty (IU) increased perception, fear and N1 amplitudes, without affecting the gating.

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.
Book
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.
