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:

TL;DR: It is suggested that mindfulness strengthens interoception, operationalized here as the mean insula connection strength within the overall connectome, which further elucidates the neural mechanisms of mindfulness meditation and motivates new perspectives about the unique benefits of mindfulness training compared to contemporary cognitive and physical fitness interventions.

Anterior insula as a gatekeeper of executive control
TL;DR: The anterior insular cortex plays an under-appreciated role in executive processes, acting as a gatekeeper to other brain regions and networks by virtue of primacy of action and effective connectivity as discussed by the authors .

Interoception is Impaired in Children, But Not Adults, with Autism Spectrum Disorder.
TL;DR: Early interoception difficulties are resolved or compensated for by adulthood in people with ASD, and Bayesian analyses suggested the data strongly supported the null hypothesis.
Journal ArticleDOI
It's all in your head - how anticipating evaluation affects the processing of emotional trait adjectives
TL;DR: It is shown that anticipating evaluation by a communicative partner alone is sufficient to increase the relevance of particularly emotional adjectives, given a seemingly realistic interactive setting.

Ritual and Religion as Social Technologies of Cooperation
TL;DR: This chapter takes as its point of departure the influential French sociologist Émile Durkheim’s view that religion and ritual are inherently social phenomena and presents them as playing a role in maintaining social order in society.

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.
