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:

Response to Gu and FitzGerald: Interoceptive inference: from decision-making to organism integrity.
TL;DR: Commentary by Gu and FitzGerald expands on aspects of the recently presented ‘interoceptive inference’ framework, and suggests that subjective feeling states are generated by active ‘top-down’ inference on the (internal and external) causes of interoceptive signals, computed according to Bayesian principles.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neuropharmacological modulation of the aberrant bodily self through psychedelics.
TL;DR: It is proposed that psychedelically-induced desynchronization of predictive coding might involve modulation of somatomotor, sensorimotor, and high-level association networks that could remediate aberrant perceptions of the bodily self.
Dissertation
Entangled predictive brain: emotion, prediction and embodied cognition
TL;DR: In this article, the authors argue that a complete picture of human intelligence requires us to also explore the many ways that a predictive brain is embodied in a living body and embedded in the social-cultural world in which it was born and lives.
Journal ArticleDOI
Affective experience in the predictive mind: a review and new integrative account
TL;DR: This paper aims to offer an account of affective experiences within Predictive Processing, a novel framework that considers the brain to be a dynamical, hierarchical, Bayesian hypothesis-testing mechanism, and develops a synthesis of existing theories: the Affective Inference Theory.
Journal ArticleDOI
The temporal dynamic of emotional emergence
Thomas Desmidt,Maël Lemoine,Maël Lemoine,Catherine Belzung,Catherine Belzung,Natalie Depraz,Natalie Depraz +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose a model of emotional emergence that identifies the experimental structures of time (i.e., anticipation, crisis, and aftermath) involved in emotional experience and their plausible components in terms of cognition, physiology and neuroscience.

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.
