  Uncovering Beat Deafness: Detecting Rhythm Disorders with Synchronized Finger Tapping and Perceptual Timing Tasks Simone Dalla Bella^1,2,3,4, Jakub Sowiński^{3 1}Movement to Health Laboratory (EuroMov), University of Montpellier, ²Institut Universitaire de France, ³Department of Cognitive Psychology, University of Finance and Management in Warsaw, ⁴International Laboratory for Brain, Music, and Sound Research (BRAMS) Behavioral tasks that allow for the assessment of perceptual and sensorimotor timing abilities in the general population (i.e., non-musicians) are presented. Synchronization of finger tapping to the beat of an auditory stimuli and detecting rhythmic irregularities provides a means of uncovering rhythm disorders.
