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.

Predictive Processing and the Varieties of Psychological Trauma.

TL;DR: This paper examines psychological trauma through the lens of a recently popular framework that takes the human nervous system to be a hierarchically arranged Bayesian prediction machine and suggests that this can help to understand the nature of trauma, and the different effects that different kinds of trauma can have.
Journal ArticleDOI

Prioritization of arbitrary faces associated to self: An EEG study.

TL;DR: The results indicate that even unfamiliar faces that are associated to self can activate a self-representation, and the processing of ensuing stimuli is facilitated, irrespective of whether they are associated with the self.

Presence, objecthood, and the phenomenology of predictive perception

TL;DR: This work re-emphasizes the core conceptual commitment of “predictive processing of sensorimotor contingencies” to predictive model-based perception, reconsider the relationship between presence and objecthood, and refine the phenomenological target by differentiating between perceptual presence and the phenomenology of absence-of-presence, or “phenomenal unreality.”

Processing of proprioceptive and vestibular body signals and self-transcendence in Ashtanga yoga practitioners.

TL;DR: Being highly self-transcendent yoga practitioners may enable yoga practitioners to optimize verticality judgment tasks by relying more on internal (vestibular and proprioceptive) signals coming from their own body, rather than on exteroceptive, visual cues.
Journal ArticleDOI

Towards a neurocognitive approach to dance movement therapy for mental health: A systematic review.

TL;DR: DMT has clear potential as a treatment for a range of conditions and symptoms and thus further research on its utility is warranted, and DMT within the context of contemporary cognitive neuroscience research is placed.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
