contents This study investigates the localization of spinor fields in braneworld models in six or higher dimensions. We study the relationship between fermions in spacetimes of $2n+2$ and $2n$ dimensions. In conformally flat extra-dimensional spacetime, fermions cannot be localized through minimal coupling with gravity. To achieve the localization of spinor fields, we introduce a tensor coupling term given by $\barΨ Γ^{M}Γ^{N}Γ^{P}\cdots T_{MNP\cdots} Ψ$, which ensures $SO(n, 1)$ symmetry. For a tensor $T_{MNP\cdots}$ of odd order, the left and right chiralities of high-dimensional spinors are decoupled. We find that a special form of tensor coupling $\barΨΓ^{M} \partial_M {F(ϕ, R, R^{μν}R_{μν},\cdots)} Ψ$ may facilitate the localization of the spinor field when $F(ϕ) = ϕ^n$.
