Highlights
•    Do beat perception and verbal ‘chunking’ rely on similar neural mechanisms?
•    Participants heard, maintained, and discriminated rhythmic and verbal sequences.
•    We compared neural responses to sequences with and without beats and chunks.
•    Beat perception, but not chunking, was associated with higher basal ganglia activity.
•    Beat perception and chunking do not appear to be the same cognitive process.
