    RationaleCortical activity is coupled with streams of sensory stimulation. The coupling with the temporal envelope of heard speech is known as the cortical tracking of speech (CTS), and that with movement kinematics is known as the corticokinematic coupling (CKC). Simultaneous measurement of both couplings is desirable in clinical settings, but it is unknown whether the inherent dual-tasking condition has an impact on CTS or CKC.AimWe aim to determine whether and how CTS and CKC levels are affected when recorded simultaneously.MethodsTwenty-three healthy young adults underwent 64-channel EEG recordings while listening to stories and while performing repetitive finger-tapping movements in 3 conditions: separately (audio- or tapping-only) or simultaneously (audio-tapping). CTS and CKC values were estimated using coherence analysis between each EEG signal and speech temporal envelope (CTS) or finger acceleration (CKC). CTS was also estimated as the reconstruction accuracy of a decoding model.ResultsAcross recordings, CTS assessed with reconstruction accuracy was significant in 85 % of the subjects at phrasal frequency (0.5 Hz) and in 68 % at syllabic frequencies (4-8 Hz), and CKC was significant in over 85 % of the subjects at movement frequency and its first harmonic. Comparing CTS and CKC values evaluated in separate recordings to those in simultaneous recordings revealed no significant difference and moderate-to-high levels of correlation.ConclusionDespite the subtle behavioral effects, CTS and CKC are not evidently altered by the dual-task setting inherent to recording them simultaneously and can be evaluated simultaneously using EEG in clinical settings.Copyright © 2024 International Brain Research Organization (IBRO).
