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.

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.

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.

The pathways of interoceptive awareness
TL;DR: It is found that the insula and ACC were not critical for awareness of heartbeat sensations, and this awareness was mediated by both somatosensory afferents from the skin and a network that included the insular and ACC.
Journal ArticleDOI
Misattributions of agency in schizophrenia are based on imprecise predictions about the sensory consequences of one's actions
TL;DR: The notion that delusions of influence are based on imprecise internal predictions about the sensory consequences of one's actions is supported and it is suggested that such imprecising predictions prompt patients to rely more strongly on (and thus adapt to) external agency cues, in this case vision.

Reconstructing the Past: A Century of Ideas About Emotion in Psychology
TL;DR: This article outlines the development of a third approach to emotion that exists in the psychological literature—the “psychological constructionist” tradition, and discusses a number of works that have virtually disappeared from the citation trail in psychological discussions of emotion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prediction, perception and agency.
TL;DR: This review tries to gather together some of the themes that emerge in this special issue and use them to illustrate how far one can take the notion of predictive coding in understanding behaviour and agency.
