In other words, are there indications of a subconscious metrical grid that any sound event is analyzed by? The whole literature on the habituation of the orienting response dealt with this. I'm not up on the latest stuff, but E. N. Sokolov proposed what he called a "neuronal model" which was just the kind of "subconscious grid" you seem to be thinking of. There's also Richard Held.
