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:

Atypical interoception as a common risk factor for psychopathology: A review.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the role that interoception may play in the development and maintenance of psychopathology, as well as the ways in which inter-ception may differ across clinical presentations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cultural modes of expressing emotions influence how emotions are experienced.
TL;DR: Differences in expressiveness correspond to differences in how somatosensory mechanisms contribute to constructing conscious feelings, which may influence how individuals know how strongly they feel, what conscious feelings are based on, or possibly what strong versus weak emotions "feel like".

Scene unseen: Disrupted neuronal adaptation in melancholia during emotional film viewing
Matthew P. Hyett,Gordon Parker,Christine C. Guo,Andrew Zalesky,Vinh T. Nguyen,Tamara Yuen,Michael Breakspear +6 more
TL;DR: The observed involvement of attention- and insula-based cortical systems highlights a potential neurobiological mechanism for disrupted attentional resource allocation, particularly in switching between interoceptive and exteroceptive signals, in melancholia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hierarchical models of pain: Inference, information-seeking, and adaptive control.
TL;DR: This work considers how inference and control are intertwined in complex ways, and how they may comprise a parallel hierarchical architecture that combines inference, information-seeking, and adaptive value-based control.
Journal ArticleDOI
"I do not exist"-Cotard syndrome in insular cortex atrophy.
TL;DR: Development of Cotard syndrome is reported in a 65-years old female suffering from symptoms of dementia and depression, who’s subsequent MRI revealed atrophy of bilateral insular cortices, suggesting reduction in her ability to validate internal perception against external information and subsequent coloring of anomalous perceptions by depressive cognitions.

Journal ArticleDOI
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.
