🎵 Effect of General Musicianship: Western musicians generally performed better than Western non-musicians in recognizing rhythmic cycles.
🌍 Effect of Familiarity: Indian non-musicians were able to learn and recall the 7-, 8-, and 10-beat cycles, outperforming culturally unfamiliar non-musicians.

💡 Key findings:
- Indian non-musicians and Western musicians recognized the shorter rhythms after exposure, while Western non-musicians showed no learning for any of the rhythmic patterns.

Participants were asked to recognize rhythms before and after an explicit exposure.

Participants were asked to recognize rhythms before and after an explicit exposure.
We explored how cultural familiarity and musical training shape the ability to learn and recognize rhythm pattern across four rhythms: 7-beat Rupaktal, 8-beat Kehervatal, 10-beat Jhaptal, and 16-beat Teental. Participants were asked to recognize rhythms before and after an explicit exposure.
