“…The theory of hierarchical timescales in the cerebral cortex is influential across cognitive, systems, and clinical neuroscience (Baldassano et al, 2017;Burt et al, 2018;Chaudhuri et al, 2015;Chen et al, 2016;Cocchi et al, 2016;Demirtaş et al, 2019;Fuster, 1997;Hasson et al, 2008Hasson et al, , 2015Himberger et al, 2018;Kiebel et al, 2008;Murray et al, 2014;Runyan et al, 2017;Scott et al, 2017;Simony et al, 2016;Wasmuht et al, 2018;Watanabe et al, 2019;Yeshurun et al, 2017;Zuo et al, 2020). The intrinsic timescales of brain dynamics are longer in higher-order areas, as shown by single-unit data in macaques (E) HLI simulation of rSI DE:CE predicts longer alignment time at higher stages of processing.…”
