Cochlear implant users show a profile of residual, yet poorly understood, musical abilities. An ability that has received little to no attention in this population is entrainment to a musical beat. We show for the first time that a heterogeneous group of cochlear implant users is able to find the beat and move their bodies in time to Latin Merengue music, especially when the music is presented in unpitched drum tones. These findings not only reveal a hidden capacity for feeling musical rhythm through the body in the deaf and hearing impaired population, but illuminate promising avenues for designing early childhood musical training that can engage implanted children in social musical activities with benefits potentially extending to non-musical domains.
人工耳蜗使用者表现出一系列残留但却鲜为人知的音乐能力。在这一群体中，一种几乎没有受到任何关注的能力是跟上音乐节拍。我们首次表明，一组不同类型的人工耳蜗使用者能够找到节拍并随着拉丁梅伦格音乐及时舞动身体，尤其是当音乐以无音高的鼓音呈现时。这些发现不仅揭示了聋人和听力受损人群通过身体感受音乐节奏的潜在能力，还为设计幼儿音乐训练开辟了有前景的途径，这种训练可以让植入人工耳蜗的儿童参与社交音乐活动，其益处可能延伸到非音乐领域。
