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.

Changes in the heartbeat-evoked potential are associated with functional seizures

TL;DR: In this article , a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was used to evaluate the diagnostic performance of heartbeat-evoked potential (HEP) amplitude difference in discriminating functional seizures from epileptic seizures.

Seeing Ɔ, remembering C: Illusions in short-term memory

Marte Otten, +2 more
- 05 Apr 2023 - 
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors show that expectations can reshape perceptual representations over short time scales, leading to what they refer to as short-term memory (STM) illusions.

Skipping a beat: heartbeat-evoked potentials reflect predictions during interoceptive-exteroceptive integration.

TL;DR: Support is provided for attentionally-modulated cross-modal predictive coding, and a potential tool for investigating its role in emotion and self-awareness is suggested.

Evidence for embodied predictive coding: the anterior insula coordinates cortical processing of tactile deviancy

TL;DR: Dynamic Causal Modelling revealed that unexpected stimuli increased the strength of forward connections in a caudal to rostral ascending hierarchy from thalamic and somatosensory regions towards insula, cingulate and prefrontal cortices, consistent with hierarchical predictive coding.

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.
