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.

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.

Heart Beat Perception and Emotional Experience
TL;DR: It is deduced that individuals who show good perception of heart activity tend to exhibit higher levels of a momentarily experienced emotion (in this case anxiety) and to score higher on the personality trait “Emotional Lability.”
Journal ArticleDOI
Multisensory brain mechanisms of bodily self-consciousness
TL;DR: Findings from studies in which subjects receive ambiguous multisensory information about the location and appearance of their own body may form the basis for a neurobiological model of bodily self-consciousness.
Journal ArticleDOI
The nature of feelings: evolutionary and neurobiological origins
TL;DR: Feelings constitute a crucial component of the mechanisms of life regulation, from simple to complex, and can be found at all levels of the nervous system, from individual neurons to subcortical nuclei and cortical regions.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Experimental Induction of Out-of-Body Experiences
TL;DR: An illusion in which individuals experience that they are located outside their physical bodies and looking at their bodies from this perspective demonstrates that the experience of being localized within the physical body can be determined by the visual perspective in conjunction with correlated multisensory information from the body.

Projecting sensations to external objects: evidence from skin conductance response
TL;DR: These experiments demonstrate the malleability of body image and the brain's remarkable capacity for detecting statistical correlations in the sensory input.
