A book that fundamentally changes how neuroscientists and
psychologists categorize sensations and understand the origins and
significance of human feelings How Do You Feel? brings together
startling evidence from neuroscience, psychology, and psychiatry to
present revolutionary new insights into how our brains enable us to
experience the range of sensations and mental states known as
feelings. Drawing on his own cutting-edge research, neurobiologist
Bud Craig has identified an area deep inside the mammalian
brain-the insular cortex-as the place where interoception, or the
processing of bodily stimuli, generates feelings. He shows how this
crucial pathway for interoceptive awareness gives rise in humans to
the feeling of being alive, vivid perceptual feelings, and a
subjective image of the sentient self across time. Craig explains
how feelings represent activity patterns in our brains that signify
emotions, intentions, and thoughts, and how integration of these
patterns is driven by the unique energy needs of the hominid brain.
He describes the essential role of feelings and the insular cortex
in such diverse realms as music, fluid intelligence, and bivalent
emotions, and relates these ideas to the philosophy of William
James and even to feelings in dogs. How Do You Feel? is also a
compelling insider's account of scientific discovery, one that
takes readers behind the scenes as the astonishing answer to this
neurological puzzle is pursued and pieced together from seemingly
unrelated fields of scientific inquiry. This book will
fundamentally alter the way that neuroscientists and psychologists
categorize sensations and understand the origins and significance
of human feelings.
