It seems that though we entrain accurately to an auditory beat, we appear to allow some rhythmic leeway with visual input.
Paper Context: This higher-level network could generate more regular and precise temporal predictions and-through feedback connections-modulate stimulus entrainment to be more accurate (cf. ref. As musical training requires synchronous processing of somatosensory, motor, and visual areas, these areas will likely provide modulatory rhythmic input into auditory cortex, further enhancing entrainment to the musical stimulus.
