Abstract

The phenomenon of aesthetic chills-shivers and goosebumps associated with either rewarding or threatening stimuli-offers a unique window into the brain basis of conscious reward because of their universal nature and simultaneous subjective and physical counterparts. Elucidating the neural mechanisms underlying aesthetic chills can reveal fundamental insights about emotion, consciousness, and the embodied mind. What is the precise timing and mechanism of bodily feedback in emotional experience? How are conscious feelings and motivations generated from interoceptive predictions? What is the role of uncertainty and precision signaling in shaping emotions? How does the brain distinguish and balance processing of rewards versus threats? We review neuroimaging evidence and highlight key questions for understanding how bodily sensations shape conscious feelings. This research stands to advance models of brain-body interactions shaping affect and may lead to novel nonpharmacological interventions for disorders of motivation and pleasure.

审美寒意的神经生物学：身体感觉如何塑造情感体验

审美寒颤现象--与奖励性或威胁性刺激相关的颤抖和鸡皮疙瘩--是了解有意识奖励的大脑基础的一个独特窗口，因为它们具有普遍性，并同时与主观和物理对应。阐明审美寒颤的神经机制可以揭示有关情感、意识和具身心灵的基本观点。情绪体验中身体反馈的精确时间和机制是什么？有意识的情感和动机是如何从感知间的预测中产生的？不确定性和精确信号在塑造情绪中的作用是什么？大脑如何区分和平衡对奖励和威胁的处理？我们回顾了神经影像学证据，并强调了理解身体感觉如何塑造有意识情感的关键问题。这项研究将推动塑造情感的脑-体相互作用模型的发展，并可能为治疗动机和愉悦障碍带来新的非药物干预方法。

期刊介绍： Cognitive, Affective, & Behavioral Neuroscience (CABN) offers theoretical, review, and primary research articles on behavior and brain processes in humans. Coverage includes normal function as well as patients with injuries or processes that influence brain function: neurological disorders, including both healthy and disordered aging; and psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia and depression. CABN is the leading vehicle for strongly psychologically motivated studies of brain–behavior relationships, through the presentation of papers that integrate psychological theory and the conduct and interpretation of the neuroscientific data. The range of topics includes perception, attention, memory, language, problem solving, reasoning, and decision-making; emotional processes, motivation, reward prediction, and affective states; and individual differences in relevant domains, including personality. Cognitive, Affective, & Behavioral Neuroscience is a publication of the Psychonomic Society.
