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:

Insulin-like growth factor in Parkinson’s disease is related to nonmotor symptoms and the volume of specific brain areas
Xiaoxue Shi,Jinhua Zheng,Jianjun Ma,Zhidong Wang,Wenhua Sun,Mingjiang Li,Shen Huang,Shiyu Hu +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors examined the relationship between plasma IGF-1 levels and non-motor symptoms and brain gray matter volume in Parkinson's disease patients using a Siemens MAGNETOM Prisma 3 T MRI scanner.

Planet Braitenberg: Experiments in Virtual Psychology
Paul R. Smart,Paul R. Smart +1 more
TL;DR: A framework for creating Braitenberg-like vehicles is described, built on top of a widely used and freely available game engine, namely, the Unity game engine that can be used to study the behaviour of virtual vehicles within a multiplicity of virtual environments.

The Cerebellum as an Embodying Machine.
Laura Petrosini,Eleonora Picerni,Andrea Termine,Carlo Fabrizio,Daniela Laricchiuta,Debora Cutuli +5 more
TL;DR: The aim of this review is to insert the cerebellum among the structures needed to embody emotions, providing illustrative examples of cerebellar involvement in embodied emotions and in impaired identification and expression of embodied emotions (as occurring in alexithymia).

Interoceptive active inference and self-representation in social anxiety disorder (SAD): exploring the neurocognitive traits of the SAD self
Philip Gerrans,Ryan J. Murray +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an interoceptive active inference (IAI) account of social anxiety disorder (SAD) is provided through a neurocognitive framework, where the cognitive and behavioural profile of SAD is best conceived of as a form of maladaptive IAI produced by a negatively biased self-model that cannot reconcile inconsistent tendencies to approach and avoid social interaction.

The Rubber Hand Illusion: Top-down attention modulates embodiment
TL;DR: In this article , the effect of top-down cognitive processes on the rubber hand illusion was investigated using exploratory factor analysis, and the results confirmed the influence of higher-order, topdown mental processes.

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.
