Visual rhythm perception improves through auditory but not visual training

Figure 1. Experimental procedures and results of visual rhythm discrimination training. (A) Schematic of a visual trial from the rhythm discrimination task. In this example, the patterns of the rhythm sequences are different. (B) Depiction of the experimental design. Sessions were completed 24 to 48 hours apart. For all groups, the preand post-test trials contained visual stimuli only. (C) Mean percent accuracy in each visual test is depicted for each training condition. Asterisks indicate a significant change from pre-test (p ≤ 0.01). Error bars represent within-subject standard error of the mean.
