People keep the beat to music due to slow waves of activity in the brain that correspond to the perceived beat, allowing them to tap their feet or dance along.
Auditory rhythms induce slow brain waves that align with the musical beat, enabling precise synchronization of movement.
In contrast, tactile rhythms elicit brain responses to individual vibrations without generating similar beat-related fluctuations, resulting in less accurate tapping.
Sound, but not touch, effectively shapes rhythmic processing in the brain.

Sound shapes rhythm in the brain more effectively than touch.
