Cortical tracking of hierarchical rhythms orchestrates the multisensory processing of biological motion by Li Shen, Shuo Li, Yuhao Tian, Ying Wang, Yi Jiang

“…In addition, only this higher-order, domain-specific cortical tracking effect correlates with individuals’ autistic traits, highlighting its potential as a neural marker for autism spectrum disorder. These findings unveil the multifaceted mechanism whereby rhythmic cortical activity supports the multisensory integration of human motion, shedding light on how neural coding of hierarchical temporal structures orchestrates the processing of complex, natural stimuli across multiple timescales.…”
