Naturalistic auditory perception engages feedforward and feedback dynamics across cortical depths, yet how these are organized in the human auditory cortex has been difficult to verify noninvasively. Here, we examine depth-dependent coupling between neuronal activity and fMRI during passive music listening. Depth-specific fMRI responses were modeled using neuronal oscillation envelopes elicited by the same naturalistic stimuli from a separate group of patients under intracranial EEG monitoring. From deep toward superficial depths, the relationship between oscillatory power and fMRI responses systematically changed: alpha/beta activity (8-30 Hz) was increasingly associated with negative fMRI responses, mapping top-down feedback, while gamma band (>30 Hz) oscillations showed increasingly positive associations. Relative to a purely acoustical fMRI baseline, broadband high-frequency activity (>70 Hz), a proxy for neuronal firing, showed the strongest coupling to BOLD signals at intermediate cortical depths receiving feedforward inputs from earlier auditory pathways. Our findings reveal a spectrolaminar organization of neurovascular coupling in the human auditory cortex.
