The rhythms of our mind. A mechanistic model of how oscillating body-brain states structure human cognition

We live in a rhythmic world. Take a deep breath, listen to your heartbeat, to the trees swinging with the wind, music playing, people chatting. Every perception and cognition, every heartbeat happens in time following its own rhythmic frequency. Our brain also generates rhythmic brain waves and there is wide consensus that these neural oscillations are a fundamental building block of how our brain works. Interestingly, the brain is not the only organ generating such intrinsic rhythmic signals. Bodily rhythms such as heartbeats, breathing or gastrointestinal activity can also be described as endogenous oscillators. But are these brain and bodily rhythms functionally relevant for how we…
