Listening to music incorrectly

arcofracto · 10-26-2012, 02:16 PM

Hello

I am new to these forums but I have a question following a little explanation.

Sometimes when I hear a song that begins with an anacrusis (pickup bar or note) I hear the first note and count it as 1 and I continue to hear the music incorrectly until, say, a rock beat comes in and the music kind of falls into place in my head. Is there a name for this phenomenon?

I imagine it should happen to people other than me. I mean, how does the brain know when to count 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and if it starts on an "and"?
