Re: How good is your sense of rhythm?

Abstract PURPOSE: Congenital amusia (tone deafness) is a disorder in which those affected typically complain of or are identified by their inability to sing in tune. A psychophysical and possibly surrogate marker of this condition is the inability to recognize deviations in pitch that are one semitone (100 cents) or less. The aim of our study was to identify candidate brain regions that might be associated with this disorder. METHODS: We used Voxel-Based-Morphometry (VBM) to correlate performance on a commonly used assessment tool, the Montreal Battery for the Evaluation of Amusia (MBEA), with local inter-individual variations in gray matter volumes across a large group of individuals (n=51) to identify brain regions potentially involved in the expression of this disorder. RESULTS: The analysis across the entire brain space revealed significant covariations between performance on the MBEA and inter-individual gray matter volume variations in the left superior temporal sulcus (BA 22) and the left inferior frontal gyrus (BA 47). The regression analyses identified subregions within the inferior frontal gyrus, and inferior portion of BA47 that correlated with performance on melodic subtests, while gray matter volume variations in a more superior subregion of BA47 correlated with performance on rhythmic subtests. CONCLUSIONS: Our analyses demonstrate the existence of a left fronto-temporal network that appears to be involved in the melodic and rhythmic discrimination skills measured by the MBEA battery. These regions could also be part of a network that enable subjects to map motor actions to sounds including a feedback loop that allows for correction of motor actions (i.e., singing) based on perceptual feedback. Thus, it is conceivable that individuals with congenital amusia, or the inability to sing in tune, may actually have an impairment of the auditory-motor feedback loop and/or auditory-motor mapping system.

Re: How good is your sense of rhythm?
84% - I'm pretty happy with that. I had some musical training when I was younger (violin when I was really young, then piano for a while later on), but it didn't really stick and I never got into much music theory or sightreading. I think the rhythm gaming had a much bigger effect on any music ability I have now.

Re: How good is your sense of rhythm?
I got 88%
How good/bad is that for someone who has had no formal musical training? 86.1% on the tone test linked from that original test page. 4.5 Hz on the adaptive pitch test. 90% on the visual test

Re: How good is your sense of rhythm?
76%
Some of them really threw me off because I thought volume is also counted as a difference. |

Re: How good is your sense of rhythm?
This. Are two identical rhythms considered different if there's an instrument swap or something? I have a feeling most of the people who do poorly on this do poorly because it's a bad test, and not because of their rhythm.
BTW: 80%, and I've played guitar for about eight years now and recently keyboard. It's a wonky test, period. When Alex and Leonid get <90% and Dossar gets <70%, it's wonked the **** up, I promise. Last edited by Mike Weedmark; 11-28-2011 at 09:43 AM.. |

Re: How good is your sense of rhythm?
How good are fellow FFRers' senses of rhythm?
68%. Do you think playing FFR has improved your sense of rhythm? For reading charts yes, for hearing music nope. |

Re: How good is your sense of rhythm?
not sure how accurate of a test of how good one's sense of rhythm is as opposed to being able to recognize similarities and differences between two soundbytes. It would be better if they asked you to try and replicate the beat somehow instead of just comparing IMO.

Re: How good is your sense of rhythm?
first attempt 80%, pretty sure I thought some of the first were different while they weren't, just because I had no idea how difficult the test was

Re: How good is your sense of rhythm?
92%. Missed the first one because I figured the thing was testing pitch in a very small window. Also missed #9.

I felt like it was trying to trick me the whole time (like playing a game of speed-Simon or something). |
