A narrative review of research on bodily experience finds that different fields study neurophysiological, perceptual, affective, and social aspects using separate taxonomies, making it hard to see how these dimensions relate. The authors propose an integrative framework grounded in phenomenal consciousness, self-consciousness, and bodily self-consciousness. This model relies on predictive processes and specific neural substrates to provide a common basis for evaluating findings across dimensions. It enables conceptual assessment of interrelationships between bodily experiences and promotes interdisciplinary approaches.
