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:

Vestibular Contributions to the Sense of Body, Self, and Others
TL;DR: In this article, the authors argue that the vestibular system is especially important for global aspects of the self, most crucially for implicit and explicit spatio-temporal self-location.

Emotion Schemas are Embedded in the Human Visual System
TL;DR: A convolutional neural network is developed that accurately decodes images into 11 distinct emotion categories and can decode multiple categories of emotional experience, suggesting that rich, category-specific emotion representations are embedded within the human visual system.

Going at the heart of social cognition: is there a role for interoception in self-other distinction?
Clare E. Palmer,Manos Tsakiris +1 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that interoceptive awareness appears to stabilise the mental representation of one's self as distinct from others and play a critical role in social cognition.

Accounting for the phenomenology and varieties of auditory verbal hallucination within a predictive processing framework.
TL;DR: It is shown how, within the PPF, both the auditory phenomenology of AVHs, and three subtypes ofAVH, can be accounted for.
Journal ArticleDOI
An algorithmic information theory of consciousness.
TL;DR: It is shown that algorithmic information theory provides a natural framework to study and quantify consciousness from neurophysiological or neuroimaging data, given the premise that the primary role of the brain is information processing.

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.

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.
