“…Variable performance in each task was determined by pinpointing those participants who deviated from the group average by at least 2 SD (cutoff score). This method has been applied successfully in the past to identify individuals suffering from congenital amusia or tone-deafness (e.g., Berkowska & Dalla Bella, 2013;Dalla Bella, Giguère, & Peretz, 2009;Peretz, Champod, & Hyde, 2003 ; for a discussion of the use of a relative criterion for detecting music disorders, see also . Cutoffs and the number of participants showing extreme values for the major outcome variables of BAASTA are presented in Table 2.…”

The Battery for the Assessment of Auditory Sensorimotor and Timing Abilities (BAASTA) is a new tool for the systematic assessment of perceptual and sensorimotor timing skills. It spans a broad range of timing skills aimed at differentiating individual timing profiles. BAASTA consists of sensitive time perception and production tasks. Perceptual tasks include duration discrimination, anisochrony detection (with tones and music), and a version of the Beat Alignment Task. Perceptual thresholds for duration discrimination and anisochrony detection are estimated with a maximum likelihood procedure (MLP) algorithm. Production tasks use finger tapping and include unpaced and paced tapping (with tones and music), synchronization-continuation, and adaptive tapping to a sequence with a tempo change. BAASTA was tested in a proof-of-concept study with 20 non-musicians (Experiment 1). To validate the results of the MLP procedure, less widespread than standard staircase methods, three perceptual tasks of the battery (duration discrimination, anisochrony detection with tones, and with music) were further tested in a second group of non-musicians using 2 down / 1 up and 3 down / 1 up staircase paradigms (n = 24) (Experiment 2). The results show that the timing profiles provided by BAASTA allow to detect cases of timing/rhythm disorders. In addition, perceptual thresholds yielded by the MLP algorithm, although generally comparable to the results provided by standard staircase, tend to be slightly lower. In sum, BAASTA provides a comprehensive battery to test perceptual and sensorimotor timing skills, and to detect timing/rhythm deficits.

“…We assessed perceptual-cognitive musical abilities with the Montreal Battery of Evaluation of Amusia (MBEA; Peretz, Champod, & Hyde, 2003). Three tests were used, which cover both melody-and duration-related musical dimensions: Scale (melody-based), Rhythm and Meter (both duration-based).…”

Not all sounds sound the same: Parkinson's disease affects differently emotion processing in music and in speech prosody

. Twenty-four patients and 25 controls performed emotion recognition tasks for music and spoken sentences. In music, patients had impaired recognition of happiness and peacefulness, and intact recognition of sadness and fear; this pattern was independent of general cognitive and perceptual abilities. In speech, patients had a small global impairment which was significantly mediated by executive dysfunction.Hence, PD affected differently musical and prosodic emotions. This dissociation indicates that the mechanisms underlying the two domains are partly independent.

“…None of the participants had any previous neurological or psychiatric history. Objective testing confirmed the presence of a musical deficiency in the amusic participants, who scored significantly below the matched control participants in each test taken from the Montreal Battery of Evaluation of Amusia (MBEA; Peretz, Champod, & Hyde, 2003). The battery involves six tests-three to assess the ability to discriminate changes in melody (by pitch contour, scale, and interval size) and one to assess rhythmic discrimination (by temporal grouping).…”
