Abstract
Rhythms are an everyday phenomenon. The most common source of rhythm is music. Rhythm perception studies in the past have mostly concentrated on the auditory and visual modalities. For example, loud music can also be felt as vibrations. Previous studies have showed that audio dominates rhythm perception. Our experiment was conducted to study rhythm perception through three different modalities. We had 12 subjects and 3 sessions with each. In each session there were rhythms through the auditory, tactile and visual modalities. Three different rhythm lengths were used: 4, 5 and 6 beats. In each category there were 14 rhythms. The tasks were to perceive and reproduce these rhythms as accurately as possible. The results showed that audio dominated the tactile and visual modalities. There were more correctly reproduced rhythms with the tactile modality than with the visual modality.
