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:

Commentary: Alexithymia, not autism, is associated with impaired interoception
TL;DR: A new study published in Cortex concludes that alexithymia, not autism, is related to interoceptive impairment (Shah et al., 2016), which supports the notion that an ASD diagnosis reflects a clustering of etiologically distinct symptoms.

Computerized exposure therapy for Spider Phobia: Effects of cardiac timing and interoceptive ability on subjective and behavioral outcomes
David R. Watson,Sarah N. Garfinkel,Cassandra D. Gould van Praag,Daniel Willmott,Katherine Wong,Frances Meeten,Hugo D. Critchley +6 more
TL;DR: The reduction in the subjective expression of fear/phobia is facilitated by “bottom-up” afferent signals, whereas improvement in the behavioral expression is further dependent on “top-down” representation of self-related physiology (heart rhythm).
Journal ArticleDOI
A problem of scope for the free energy principle as a theory of cognition
TL;DR: The free energy principle as a theory of cognition has been criticised by as discussed by the authors, who argue that it is possible to reason about a specific computational architecture of a cognitive system and that all adaptive behavior is driven by the free-energy principle and that cognition is not ubiquitous.

Sad faces increase the heartbeat-associated interoceptive information flow within the salience network: a MEG study
Jaejoong Kim,Hyeong-Dong Park,Ko Woon Kim,Ko Woon Kim,Dong Woo Shin,Sanghyun Lim,Hyukchan Kwon,Min-Young Kim,Kiwoong Kim,Bumseok Jeong +9 more
TL;DR: The Granger causality analysis provides the first evidence for the increased flow of heartbeat information from the RAI to the RdACC during sad face perception, and it is shown that this HER modulation effect was time-locked to heartbeats.
Journal ArticleDOI
I see neither your Fear, nor your Sadness - Interoception in adolescents.
TL;DR: Results indicated high sensitivity to negative affect, as well as low accuracy in the recognition of fear and sadness among adolescents high in IAC, reflected by amplitude modulations in the N170 and the P300 ERP components.

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.
