This is the same reason having the eyes even sliiiightly more open looks more desiring and wanting rather that satisfied. It shows the character is alert and outward-focused, in exteroception.

Visual interoception is real!
At least, this is a serious implication of this new computationally-based account of the distinction between interoception and exteroception

Very interesting hypothesis that aphantasia is related to a bias towards exteroception and away from interoception.
So @mmonzel.bsky.social read my bsky thread and proposed we extend these ideas into a theory paper - and thus, this preprint was born!
A unifying theory of aphantasia: Aphantasia as the inability to disengage from the external environment

The sensory world consists of:
Exteroception (the 5 senses we're all familiar with)
Interoception (internal sensations - pain, hunger, arousal, toilet)
Proprioception/vestibular (body perception and balance)
To this we could add the sensations of danger, heat and more but there isn't room!

Great thread by dymphna! With some neat examples of predictive coding theory in FND.
I agree that a combo of:
* disrupted interoception (internal sense)
* unreliable exteroception
* elevated threat processing
* which is impacted by attention
is often very relevant for lots of us.

for friends of the show: there's interesting theorizing rn about how my Agonies/Perfect Brain Syndrome/functional neurological disorder might work:
there's a framework called predictive coding for understanding mobility and perception--and mobility and perception are sort of the same thing(!).

But more impressively, the final model, a hierarchical Gaussian filter, was the one that was able to 𝐧𝐞𝐚𝐫-𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐥𝐲 disentangle the two modalities of interest (interoception and exteroception) using the sensitivity estimate, which none of the other models were able to do.

I know it's easy to poke fun at this kind of stuff. BUT I don't see anything fundamentally incorrect here
Is there any current theory of brain information processing that is incompatible with the ANN paradigm? (aside from the learning rules)
Neuromodulation only potential example I can think of

I really enjoyed reading this extremely well-written and provocative piece on #interoception If I understood correctly, in contrast to most exteroception, interoception is slower, coarser, more compressed, and more integrated. Interested what the authors think about graviception as interoception
Excited to finally share this paper, nearly 5 years in the making! In it, me and co-authors share our thoughts on how (and to what extent) signals from the body map onto affective feelings. Writing this definitely brought forth more questions than answers! authors.elsevier.com/c/1ieTJ4sIRv...
