Using isochrony, but not meter, to discriminate rhythmic sequences in rats (Rattus norvegicus).

F Mayayo, JM Toro - Journal of Comparative Psychology, 2024 - psycnet.apa.org
Meter induction is a key process for rhythm perception. However, while some nonhuman
animals readily detect temporal regularities and perceive beats in auditory sequences, there …
