Example rhythm in duple and triple meter

Example of the rhythm [0.263 0.421 0.316] (in seconds) presented in a duple meter context (left, gray circle) and in a triple meter context (right, gray circle). In the duple meter context most subjects (64%) perceived the rhythm as 1-2-1 (10% identified it as 1-3-2). In the triple context the very same rhythm is perceived by most subjects as 1-3-2 (no one identified it as 1-2-1). The audio examples are like the stimulus presented to the subjects: three times repeated embedded in either a duple or triple metrical context.
