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:

Theories of consciousness
TL;DR: In this article , the authors review four prominent theoretical approaches to consciousness: higher-order theories, global workspace theories, re-entry and predictive processing theories and integrated information theory, and identify the key characteristics of each approach by identifying which aspects of consciousness they propose to explain, what their neurobiological commitments are and what empirical data are adduced in their support.

Predictions, perception, and a sense of self.

TL;DR: It is proposed that the predictive or inferential perspective on brain function offers novel insights into brain diseases.

Disrupted Effective Connectivity of Cortical Systems Supporting Attention and Interoception in Melancholia
TL;DR: Reduced effective connectivity in resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging between key networks involved in attention and interoception in melancholia is observed and it is proposed that these abnormalities underlie the impoverished variety and affective quality of internally generated thought in this disorder.
Journal ArticleDOI
A nice surprise? Predictive processing and the active pursuit of novelty
TL;DR: This paper explored several core and variant forms of this puzzle, using them to display multiple interacting elements that together deliver a satisfying solution, which requires us to go beyond the discussion of simple information-theoretic imperatives (such as'minimize long-term prediction error') and recognize the essential role of species-specific prestructuring, epistemic foraging, and cultural practices in shaping the restless, curious, novelty-seeking human mind.

A social Bayesian brain: How social knowledge can shape visual perception.
TL;DR: The generative view of perception within the ‘Bayesian brain’ is summarized, and how such a framework can account for the pervasive effects of top‐down social knowledge on social cognition is shown.

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.
