This review considers computational psychiatry from a particular viewpoint: namely, a
commitment to explaining psychopathology in terms of pathophysiology. It rests on the …

An increasing recognition that brain and body are dynamically coupled has enriched our
scientific understanding of mental health conditions. Peripheral signals interact centrally to …

Interoception has historically been assessed using behavioural tests of accuracy, self-report
measures or through the characterisation of neural signals underlying interoceptive …

The active inference framework, and in particular its recent formulation as a partially
observable Markov decision process (POMDP), has gained increasing popularity in recent …

Research on predictive processing models has focused largely on two specific algorithmic
theories: Predictive Coding for perception and Active Inference for decision-making. While …

Interoception-the physiological sense of our inner bodies-has risen to the forefront of
psychological and psychiatric research. Much of this research utilizes tasks that attempt to …

A growing body of evidence highlights the intricate linkage of exteroceptive perception to the
rhythmic activity of the visceral body. In parallel, interoceptive inference theories of affective …

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 …

Psychology and neuroscience are concerned with the study of behavior, of internal cognitive
processes, and their neural foundations. However, most laboratory studies use constrained …

The adaptive regulation of bodily and interoceptive parameters, such as body temperature,
thirst and hunger is a central problem for any biological organism. Here, we present a series …
