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:

Real Virtuality: A Code of Ethical Conduct. Recommendations for Good Scientific Practice and the Consumers of VR-Technology
Michael Madary,Thomas Metzinger +1 more
TL;DR: A first list of ethical concerns that may arise from research and personal use of virtual reality (VR) and related technology is presented, and concrete recommendations for minimizing those risks are offered.

TL;DR: It is shown how attention to and attenuation of sensations enables communication and provides a (mathematical) image of communication as generalised synchrony.

Allostatic Self-Efficacy: A Metacognitive Theory of Dyshomeostasis-Induced Fatigue and Depression
Klaas E. Stephan,Zina M. Manjaly,Christoph Mathys,Lilian A.E. Weber,Saee Paliwal,Tim Gard,Marc Tittgemeyer,Stephen M. Fleming,Helene Haker,Anil K. Seth,Frederike H. Petzschner +10 more
TL;DR: A hierarchical Bayesian framework for interoception, homeostatic/allostatic control, and meta-cognition is outlined that connects fatigue and depression to the experience of chronic dyshomeostasis and proposes that the performance of interoceptive- allostatic circuitry is monitored by a metacognitive layer that updates beliefs about the brain's capacity to successfully regulate bodily states.

From cognitivism to autopoiesis: towards a computational framework for the embodied mind
Micah Allen,Karl J. Friston +1 more
TL;DR: A basic review of neuroscientific, cognitive, and philosophical approaches to PP is presented, to illustrate how these range from solidly cognitivist applications—with a firm commitment to modular, internalistic mental representation—to more moderate views emphasizing the importance of ‘body-representations’, and finally to those which fit comfortably with radically enactive, embodied, and dynamic theories of mind.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mentalizing homeostasis: The social origins of interoceptive inference
TL;DR: The authors argued that even the most minimal aspects of selfhood, namely the feeling qualities associated with being an embodied subject, are fundamentally shaped by embodied interactions with other people in early infancy and beyond.

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.
