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.

The Misinformation Receptivity Framework

TL;DR: The Misinformation Receptivity Framework (MRF) as mentioned in this paper proposes a probabilistic model for evaluating the truthfulness of new information, in which the reliability of incoming misinformation is weighed against the prior beliefs.

Body representations as indexed by oscillatory EEG activities in the context of tactile novelty processing.

TL;DR: Investigating neural oscillations involved in tactile novelty processing, in particular how physically different digits of the hand may be categorized as being more or less similar to one another finds that deviant tactile stimuli evoked significantly greater theta event-related synchronization and greater phase-locking values compared to the corresponding control stimuli.

Empowerment and Relevant Goal Information as Alternatives to Graph-Theoretic Centrality for Navigational Decision Making

TL;DR: Preliminary evidence that human navigation employs an empowerment maximisation strategy is provided, linking empowerment and relevant goal information with empirical neuroscience in a collaborative study for the first time.

Bio-Sensing and Bio-Feedback Instruments - DoubleMyo, MuseOSC and MRTI2015 -.

TL;DR: This report is about new instruments applied by biological information sensing and biofeedback, and an originally developed "MRTI (Multi Rubbing Tactile Instrument)" with ten tactile sensors developed in 2015.

Questions raised by the proposed definition of pain: what characterizes the experience of pain and how is subjectivity validated?

TL;DR: The authors highlight that the current definition was developed with a minimalistic approach, but see the proposed definition as an important shift away from validating the subjective experience of pain, which may increase risk for some of the most marginalized people living with pain.

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.

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

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.
