We advance a novel active inference model of the cognitive processing that underlies the
acquisition of a hierarchical action repertoire and its use for observation, understanding and …

While interoception is of major neuroscientific interest, its precise definition and delineation
from exteroception continue to be debated. Here, we propose a functional distinction …

Interoception, the perception of internal bodily states, is thought to be inextricably linked to
affective qualities such as anxiety. Although interoception spans sensory to metacognitive …

Processing of negative affective pictures typically leads to desynchronization of alpha-to-
beta frequencies (ERD) and synchronization of gamma frequencies (ERS). Given that in …

Computational psychiatry is a field aimed at developing formal models of information
processing in the human brain, and how alterations in this processing can lead to clinical …

Several competing neuro-computational theories of autism have emerged from predictive
coding models of the brain. To disentangle their subtly different predictions about the nature …

The fear-avoidance model is a well-established framework in the understanding of
persistent pain. It proposes a dichotomous path: either the context is interpreted as safe; …

Many theories of psychological function emphasize the importance of bodily sensations and
the ability to accurately detect them, known as interoceptive accuracy. The most common …

During dynamic and time-constrained sporting tasks performers rely on both online
perceptual information and prior contextual knowledge to make effective anticipatory …

Psychological theory has long suggested that interoception, or the perception of internal
bodily states, plays a pivotal role in the emergence of emotions. More recent proposals …
