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 embodiment of emotional feelings in the brain
TL;DR: It is shown that experience of core and body–boundary–violation disgust are dissociable in both peripheral autonomic and central neural responses and also that emotional experience specific to anterior insular activity encodes these different underlying patterns of peripheral physiological responses.
Journal ArticleDOI
My face in yours: Visuo-tactile facial stimulation influences sense of identity.
TL;DR: Self-face recognition is modified by means of a simple psychophysical manipulation, and the surprisingly rapid changes induced by the procedure suggest that sense of facial identity may be more malleable than previously believed.

Right insula for our sense of limb ownership and self-awareness of actions
Hans-Otto Karnath,Bernhard Baier +1 more
TL;DR: It is hypothesize that the right insular cortex constitutes a central node of a network involved in human body scheme representation and contributes to the authors' sense of limb ownership as well as for their feeling of being involved in a movement—their sense of agency.
Journal ArticleDOI
Turning Body and Self Inside Out Visualized Heartbeats Alter Bodily Self-Consciousness and Tactile Perception
TL;DR: It is argued that the integration of signals from the inside and the outside of the human body is a fundamental neurobiological process underlying self-consciousness.

TL;DR: Selective destruction of VENs in early stages of frontotemporal dementia (FTD) implies that they are involved in empathy, social awareness, and self‐control, consistent with evidence from functional imaging.
