The former is very similar to the frequency of the natural walk. 2) The repetitive action is a sort of a consecutive reaction time and is regarded as a conditional reflex in mechanism on the ground of the experiment (2). 3) When the conditioning phone of physically regular and uniform interval was applied, time series formed in the brain or central nervous system was organized subjectively and the effect was expressed to the performance which showed periodic rhythm at higher frequency in the view of auto-correlogram. 4) Fluctuation of the performance rhythm is about 1/2-1/4 of that of heart rhythm.}, pages = {105--112}, title = {Studies on a Sense of Rhythm : I.
