The effects of stimulus rate and tapping rate on tapping performance
when finger taps are synchronized with an isochronous click, it is known that tap-click
asynchrony and its variability increase with the interonset interval (IOI). It remains unclear …

Hearing a melody in different ways: Multistability of metrical interpretation, reflected in rate limits of sensorimotor synchronization
BH Repp - Cognition, 2007 - Elsevier
Music commonly induces the feeling of a regular beat (ie, a metrical structure) in listeners.
However, musicians can also intentionally impose a beat (ie, a metrical interpretation) on a …
