Beat perception (BP) is the uniquely human capacity to sense the regularity in rhythm. We wanted to examine whether BP could be induced in the auditory, visual, and tactile modalities by assessing behavioural responses to modality-specific stimuli. For each modality, 36 participants performed a rhythm discrimination task that required them to correctly distinguish between rhythms. We found that BP was induced in the tactile and auditory modalities, but not in the visual modality. In addition, results suggest that musical experience was positively related to performance in discriminating between rhythms.
