- delinka 10y agoNit: it's not a question. "How does the brain perceive rhythm?" would be a question. "How the brain perceives rhythm" is a promise to explain it to us. However, you are correct: there is no satisfactory explanation here.
- zhemao 10y agoYeah, the only conclusion we find here is that cultures with music that follow certain beat patterns are biased towards recognizing those beat patterns. Not exactly surprising.
- matchagaucho 10y agoAgreed, the article flirts with both biological and cultural reasons for rhythm perception. Puzzling. 400-500 years of musical history has engrained cultures in particular rhythms. Not much of a biological argument, IMO.
- glup 10y agoIf you want a match in framing and claims, read the original article, not the linkbait university press release.
