Humans can easily tap in synchrony with an auditory beat but not with an equivalent visual rhythmic sequence, suggesting that the sensation of meter (i.e. of an underlying regular pulse) may be inherently auditory. We assessed whether the perception of meter could also be felt with tactile sensory inputs. We found that, when participants were presented with identical rhythmic sequences filled with either short tones or hand stimulations, they could more efficiently tap in synchrony with strongly rather than weakly metric sequences. These observations suggest that non-musician adults can extract the metric structure of purely tactile rhythms and use it to tap regularly with the beat induced by such sequences. This finding represents a challenge for present models of rhythm processing.
人类能够轻松地与听觉节拍同步敲击，但却无法与等效的视觉节奏序列同步，这表明节拍感（即潜在的规律脉冲感）可能本质上是听觉性的。我们评估了是否也能通过触觉感官输入来感受节拍感。我们发现，当向参与者呈现充满短音或手部刺激的相同节奏序列时，他们与强节拍序列同步敲击的效率要高于弱节拍序列。这些观察结果表明，非音乐家成年人能够提取纯触觉节奏的节拍结构，并利用它与此类序列所诱导的节拍进行有规律的敲击。这一发现对当前的节奏处理模型构成了挑战。
