“…Individuals with high interoceptive accuracy have shown higher sensitivity to negative affect but lower accuracy in the recognition of fear and sadness (Georgiou et al 2018). Lastly, interoceptive accuracy was associated with more specific topographical changes after emotional stimuli (Jung et al 2017). However, other researchers have reported interference patterns between exteroceptive processing and interoception.…”

Interoception refers to the process by which the nervous system senses and integrates signals originating from within the body, providing a momentary mapping of the body's internal landscape and its relationship to the outside world. Active inference is based on the premise that afferent sensory input to the brain is constantly shaped and modified by prior expectations. In this review we propose that interoceptive psychopathology results from two primary interoceptive dysfunctions: First, individuals have abnormally strong expectations of the situations that elicit bodily change (i.e., hyperprecise priors), and second, they have great difficulty adjusting these expectations when the environment changes (i.e., context rigidity). Here we discuss how these dysfunctions potentially manifest in mental illness and how interventions aimed at altering interoceptive processing can help the brain create a more realistic model of its internal state.

“…Participants performed an emotional judgment task after a bodily imagery task inside a functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scanner. For the bodily imagery task, we generated somatotopic images, which were averaged maps of emotion-specific bodily sensations obtained in our previous study [ 22 ]. The participants of the present study were recruited from the previous study who volunteered to participate in an additional study.…”

“…In our previous study, we recorded the somatotopic patterns associated with bodily sensations shortly after inducing a specific emotion [ 22 ]. After viewing an emotional video clip, participants were asked to mark the location of their bodily sensations on a somatotopic map presented on an iPad (Apple Inc., Cupertino, CA, USA) using a bodily sensation map-emotion (BSM-E) application with a template of the human body as two-dimensional frontal images.…”

“…Nummenmaa et al recently showed that different emotional states are associated with distinct bodily sensation maps, suggesting that different bodily sensation patterns originate from the different physiological conditions underlying emotion [ 20 , 21 ]. Our previous study showed that somatotopic bodily sensation patterns provided a channel for inferring bodily state [ 22 ]. In this context, the somatotopical pattern of bodily sensation may provide efficient access to the collective interoceptive information.…”

We investigated whether enhanced interoceptive bodily states of fear would facilitate recognition of the fearful faces. Participants performed an emotional judgment task after a bodily imagery task inside a functional magnetic resonance imaging scanner. In the bodily imagery task, participants were instructed to imagine feeling the bodily sensations of two specific somatotopic patterns: a fear-associated bodily sensation (FBS) or a disgust-associated bodily sensation (DBS). They were shown faces expressing various levels of fearfulness and disgust and instructed to classify the facial expression as fear or disgust. We found a stronger bias favoring the “fearful face” under the congruent FBS condition than under the incongruent DBS condition. The brain response to fearful versus intermediate faces increased in the fronto-insular-temporal network under the FBS condition, but not the DBS condition. The fearful face elicited activity in the anterior cingulate cortex and extrastriate body area under the FBS condition relative to the DBS condition. Furthermore, functional connectivity between the anterior cingulate cortex/extrastriate body area and the fronto-insular-temporal network was modulated according to the specific bodily sensation. Our findings suggest that somatotopic patterns of bodily sensation provide informative access to the collective visceral state in the fear processing via the fronto-insular-temporal network.

“…After scanning, participants were asked to mark the locations of their bodily sensations for each condition of pseudo-electrical stimulation on a given somatotopic map using a bodily sensation map application, which presents a template of the human body as two-dimensional frontal images (1536 × 2048 pixels; http://cmslab.khu.ac.kr/downloads/bsm ) with an iPad (Apple Inc.; Cupertino, CA, USA) ( Jung, Lee, Lee, and Chae, 2017a ; b ; Jung et al, 2016 ). The spatial patterns of pseudo-stimulation-induced sensations were analyzed by the pixel-wise evaluation of associations between each condition and the spatial configuration of the bodily sensation map ( Jung et al, 2016 ).…”

The brain actively interprets sensory inputs by integrating top-down and bottom-up information. Humans can make inferences on somatosensation based on prior experiences and expectations even without the actual stimulation. We used functional magnetic resonance imaging to investigate the neural substrates of the expectations of the sensory experience of cutaneous electrical stimulation on acupoint without actual stimuli. This study included 22 participants who wore sticker-type electrodes attached on three different acupoints on different body regions: CV17 (chest), CV23 (chin), and left PC6 (arm). Participants evaluated de qi sensations after they expected electrical stimulation on those points in random order without actual stimulation. All stimuli were presented with corresponding visual information of the stimulation sites. The control condition included the same visual information but outside the body. The expectations of cutaneous electrical stimuli without actual stimulation on three acupoints resulted in greater de qi sensation compared to the control condition. Cognitive components of cutaneous electrical stimulation exhibited greater brain activation in the anterior insula, pre-supplementary motor area, and secondary somatosensory area. The expectations of acupuncture stimulation exhibited a distinct experience of somatosensation as well as brain activations in insula and pre-supplementary motor area. Our findings suggest that the sensory experience of the pseudo-cutaneous stimulation may be derived from the predictive role of the salience network in monitoring internal and external body states.
