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:

"Cognitive, social, and physiological determinants of emotional state": Erratum
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 first tendered his doctrine that "the bodily changes follow directly the perception of the exciting fact".
Journal ArticleDOI
Interoceptive predictions in the brain
TL;DR: The Embodied Predictive Interoception Coding model is introduced, which integrates an anatomical model of corticocortical connections with Bayesian active inference principles, to propose that agranular visceromotor cortices contribute to interoception by issuing interoceptive predictions.

Knowing your own heart: distinguishing interoceptive accuracy from interoceptive awareness.
Sarah N. Garfinkel,Sarah N. Garfinkel,Anil K. Seth,Adam B. Barrett,Keisuke Suzuki,Hugo D. Critchley +5 more
TL;DR: Empirical support for dissociation between dimensions of interoceptive accuracy, sensibility and awareness is provided and set the context for defining how the relative balance of accuracy, Sensibility and Awareness dimensions explain cognitive, emotional and clinical associations of interOceptive ability.
Journal ArticleDOI
The theory of constructed emotion: an active inference account of interoception and categorization.
TL;DR: This article begins with the structure and function of the brain, and from there deduce what the biological basis of emotions might be, and concludes that the answer is a brain-based, computational account called the theory of constructed emotion.

Active inference: A process theory

TL;DR: The fact that a gradient descent appears to be a valid description of neuronal activity means that variational free energy is a Lyapunov function for neuronal dynamics, which therefore conform to Hamilton’s principle of least action.

Psychologically induced cooling of a specific body part caused by the illusory ownership of an artificial counterpart
G. Lorimer Moseley,Nick Olthof,Annemeike Venema,Sanneke Don,Marijke Wijers,Alberto Gallace,Charles Spence +6 more
TL;DR: These findings are the first evidence that: taking ownership of an artificial body part has consequences for the real body part; that the awareness of the authors' physical self and the physiological regulation of self are closely linked in a top-down manner; and that cognitive processes that disrupt the sense of body ownership may in turn disrupt temperature regulation in numerous states characterized by both.

Levels of emotional awareness and autism: An fMRI study
TL;DR: Difficulties in emotional awareness are related to hypoactivity in AI in both individuals with high functioning autism/Asperger syndrome and controls, and that the particular difficulties in emotionalawareness in individuals with HFA/AS are not related to their impairments in self-reflection/mentalizing.
Journal ArticleDOI
Just a heartbeat away from one's body: interoceptive sensitivity predicts malleability of body-representations
TL;DR: The results suggest that interoceptive sensitivity predicts the malleability of body representations, that is, people with low interoception sensitivity experienced a stronger illusion of ownership in the RHI, suggesting thatInteroceptive awareness modulates the online integration of multi-sensory body-percepts.

The Rubber Hand Illusion: feeling of ownership and proprioceptive drift do not go hand in hand.
TL;DR: It is concluded that different mechanisms of multisensory integration are responsible for proprioceptive drift and the feeling of ownership, a process that is inhibited by asynchronous stroking, the most common control condition in Rubber Hand Illusion experiments.

The free-energy self: A predictive coding account of self-recognition
TL;DR: A theoretical account of the neural and computational basis of self-recognition that is embedded within the free-energy account of cortical function is presented and evidence that representations of the self are malleable, rather than fixed as previous accounts ofSelf recognition might suggest is presented.
