NOTE

The insula projects our future states to our planning center

The insula has a couple of different regions, but one of its primary regions is responsible for interpreting all those bodily signals. It essentially is a funnel for all those signals about breath rate, heart rate, conditions of the gut, whether or not your body feels ready to move or exhausted, etc. And then also coming into the insula is information from classical areas like the amygdala, which are involved in threat detection and fear, and also emotion and memory. The insula is really this incredible hub of information about somatic signals about bodily signals. So does that mean that so the body, in some sense, is reporting to conscious awareness? That's exactly right.
