内感受可以广义地定义为对源自体内的信号的感知。因此，内感受对于我们的体现感、动机和幸福感至关重要。然而，尽管内感受很重要，但现代科学界对它仍然知之甚少。本文回顾了内感受的跨学科观点，旨在从神经科学、临床实践和冥想研究等不同领域提出统一的观点。希望这种综合努力能够增进我们对内感受如何决定幸福感的理解，并确定这种理解的主要挑战。为此，我们引入了内感受过程的扩展分类法，认为其中许多过程可以通过新兴的身心整合预测编码模型来理解。该模型描述了预期和感受到的身体感觉之间的紧张关系，与冥想理论相似，并暗示了各种情感和心身疾病中的内感受。我们的结论是，对身体感觉的适应不良解释可能是许多当代疾病的核心，而沉思实践可能会减轻这些解释偏见，恢复一个人在世界上的存在感和能动性。
Interoception can be broadly defined as the sense of signals originating within the body. As such, interoception is critical for our sense of embodiment, motivation, and wellbeing. And yet, despite its importance, interoception remains poorly understood within modern science. This paper reviews interdisciplinary perspectives on interoception, with the goal of presenting a unified perspective from diverse fields such as neuroscience, clinical practice, and contemplative studies. It is hoped that this integrative effort will advance our understanding of how interoception determines well-being, and identify the central challenges to such understanding. To this end, we introduce an expanded taxonomy of interoceptive processes, arguing that many of these processes can be understood through an emerging predictive coding model for mind-body integration. The model, which describes the tension between expected and felt body sensation, parallels contemplative theories, and implicates interoception in a variety of affective and psychosomatic disorders. We conclude that maladaptive construal of bodily sensations may lie at the heart of many contemporary maladies, and that contemplative practices may attenuate these interpretative biases, restoring a person's sense of presence and agency in the world.
