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:

Can Emotional Feelings Represent Significant Relations
TL;DR: The authors argue that emotional feelings are non-representational sensory registrations rather than perceptions, and explore two ways in which emotional feelings as non-perceptual sensory registrations might still contribute to significant relation representation when associated with representations of the subject and its environment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Challenging the Boundaries of the Physical Self: Distal Cues Impact Body Ownership.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed that body ownership depends on the integration and prediction across all sensory modalities, including distal sensory signals pertaining to the environment, including subjective report as well as physiological and kinematic responses to an unexpected threat.
Journal ArticleDOI
Individuals with Autistic Traits Exhibit Heightened Alexithymia But Intact Interoceptive-Exteroceptive Sensory Integration.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors devised the novel paradigm of Interoception-Exteroception Synchronicity Judgement (IESJ) task to assess participants' interoceptive accuracy, exteroceptive performance, and the balancing score which reflected the ability to allocate attentions between interoception and exeroceptive signals.
The Alignment Paradigm for Modeling the Self
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose the notion of alignment as one general design principle to understand how to model the self and identify three complementary neural mechanisms that may serve to achieve this autonomous construction, namely spike timing-depedent plasticity, gain modulation and predictive coding.
Journal ArticleDOI
Integrated neuroimmune processing of threat, injury, and illness: An ecological framework mapping social alienation onto lifetime health vulnerability.
TL;DR: In this paper, an integrated psychoneuroimmune perspective shows how threat, injury, healing, and recovery follow through as a continuous process, but accepted cultural and clinical paradigms separating mental from physical illness provide little common ground on which to analyse and apply this continuum in practice.

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.
