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:

Primary Interoceptive Cortex Activity during Simulated Experiences of the Body.
Christine D. Wilson-Mendenhall,Alexa Henriques,Lawrence W. Barsalou,Lisa Feldman Barrett,Lisa Feldman Barrett +4 more
TL;DR: Significant heightened activity in primary interoceptive cortex is observed during imagined experiences involving vivid internal sensations, underscoring the large-scale predictive architecture of the brain and revealing that words can be powerful drivers of bodily experiences.
Journal ArticleDOI
Affective certainty and congruency of touch modulate the experience of the rubber hand illusion.
TL;DR: It is found that certainty and congruency between the felt and vicariously perceived tactile affectivity led to higher subjective embodiment compared to uncertainty and incongruency, respectively, irrespective of any valence effect.

Getting warmer: predictive processing and the nature of emotion
TL;DR: This chapter applies the insights from predictive processing to the study of emotions to create a picture of emotion as inseparable from perception and cognition, and a key feature of the embodied mind.

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.
