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:

Symptoms and the body: Taking the inferential leap
TL;DR: The prevailing theoretical approach to this problem is described and a new and more comprehensive model of the body‐symptom relationship that integrates existing concepts within a unifying framework that addresses many of the shortcomings of current theory is proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Potential self-regulatory mechanisms of yoga for psychological health
TL;DR: A theoretical framework and systems-based network model of yoga that focuses on integration of top-down and bottom-up forms of self-regulation, intended to guide future basic and clinical research, specifically targeting areas of development in the treatment of stress-mediated psychological disorders.
Journal ArticleDOI
Naturalistic Stimuli in Neuroscience: Critically Acclaimed.
TL;DR: Whether cognitive neuroscience has delivered on its promise to deliver new insights into brain function is critically appraised and the challenges, technological innovations, and clinical opportunities that are required should this field meet its full potential are highlighted.
Journal ArticleDOI
An active inference theory of allostasis and interoception in depression
TL;DR: It is speculated that depression is a disorder of allostasis, whose myriad symptoms result from a ‘locked in’ brain that is relatively insensitive to its sensory context, and a biologically plausible unified theory of the mind is proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Changing bodies changes minds: owning another body affects social cognition
TL;DR: This work proposes that changes in implicit social bias occur via a process of self association that first takes place in the physical, bodily domain as an increase in perceived physical similarity between self and outgroup member, leading to a generalization of positive self-like associations to the outgroup.

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.

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.
