ahh ive had this same problem before, here u go take your pick!
pulsation: (electronics) a sharp transient wave in the normal electrical state (or a series of such transients); "the pulsations seemed to be coming from a star"
pulsate: expand and contract rhythmically; beat rhythmically; "The baby's heart was pulsating again after the surgeon massaged it"
the rhythmic contraction and expansion of the arteries with each beat of the heart; "he could feel the beat of her heart"
produce or modulate (as electromagnetic waves) in the form of short bursts or pulses or cause an apparatus to produce pulses; "pulse waves"; "a transmitter pulsed by an electronic tube"
the rate at which the heart beats; usually measured to obtain a quick evaluation of a person's health
edible seeds of various pod-bearing plants (peas or beans or lentils etc.)
drive by or as if by pulsation; "A soft breeze pulsed the air"

In medicine, a person's pulse is the throbbing of their arteries as an effect of the heart beat. It can be felt at the neck, at the wrist and other places.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulse
In music, a pulse is an unbroken series of distinct yet identical periodically occurring short stimuli perceived as points in time (DeLone et. al. (Eds.), 1975, chap. 3). Ideally, this is opposed to a series of identical but aperiodically occurring stimuli, a series of periodically occurring yet otherwise differentiated stimuli, or an uninterrupted stream of sound (such as a drone). ...

The Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations (FAO) defines pulses as annual leguminous crops yielding from one to twelve grains or seeds of variable size, shape and color within a pod. Pulses are used for food and animal feed.

In the Demoscene, Pulse is a demo group which combined up-to-date coding practices with an old-skool style. This group was active in the MS-DOS era, but less so after 2000. They had both Polish and French members, and some cooperation with Virtual Dreams.

In signal processing, the term pulse has the following meanings: #A rapid, transient change in the amplitude of a signal from a baseline value to a higher or lower value, followed by a rapid return to the baseline value. #A rapid change in some characteristic of a signal, e.g., phase or frequency, from a baseline value to a higher or lower value, followed by a rapid return to the baseline value. ...

A short burst of electromagnetic energy that a radar sends out in a straight line to detect a precipitation target. The straight line that this pulse travels along is called a radar beam.

The beat of the heart felt in an artery. Radial: most common pulse site. In wrist directly under the thumb. Brachial: inside the elbow, little finger side. Femoral: inside the groin. Carotid: on each side of the neck, under outer jaw. Apical: over the lower half of the heart, between breast bone and left nipple, hard to feel. A stethoscope is usually needed to get a clear sound. To take a pulse, use the first and second fingers and count the beats for 60 seconds.

A short burst of sonar, typically measured as a function of time, distance or power. Each pulse of sonar is also known as a ping. However, the pulse is a more formal term and we use it to describe the length in time and width in meters of a sonar ping (See below).

(electrical/electronic) A change in the level, over a relatively short period of time, of a signal whose value is normally constant. Example: The voltage level of a point shifts from 0 to +12 volts, with respect to ground, for a period of 2 microseconds. Pulses represent the 1's and 0's of digital logic.

A pulse rhythm is usually more flowing and faster than a groove, but has a similar rhythmic effect, in that it makes for a solid song base. Often times string-chugging can be intermixed with chords in order to gain the desired effect. Imagine a laserbeam, and it "pulsing" with a rhythm. That's the basic imagery, I suppose... Examples:
