Cardio-audio synchronization elicits prediction in auditory sequences during human wakefulness and sleep
biorxiv(2022)
摘要
The human brain can infer temporal regularities across cardiac and auditory inputs. Here, we investigated whether cardio-audio regularity processing occurs during sleep, when the balance between bodily and environmental stimulus processing may be altered. Using electroencephalography and electrocardiography in healthy volunteers (N=26) during wakefulness and sleep, we measured the response to unexpected sound omissions within three regularity conditions: synchronous, where sound and heartbeat are temporally coupled, isochronous, with fixed sound-to-sound intervals, and a third control condition without specific regularity. The synchronous and isochronous sequences induced a modulation of the omission-evoked neural response in wakefulness and N2 sleep, the latter accompanied by a reorganization of the background oscillatory activity. Cardio-audio regularity encoding was further demonstrated by a heartbeat deceleration upon omissions in all vigilance states, higher in the synchronous compared to the other regularity types. The human brain processes cardio-audio temporal relationships to predict future auditory events across distinct vigilance stages.
