Milan Test of Rhythmic Ability (MITRA) - Audiomotor integration of rhythmic hand tapping

The test can be administered auditorily, and requires the vocal reproduction from the patient. This method avoids impediments due to poor motor skills or finger dexterity/agility, which would interfere with the resolution of the rhythmic reproduction task.

Test vocal stimuli can be requested for research purposes only, upon appropriate acknowledge and quotation of the present source. The first part of the test can be administered to non-musicians; The second portion of the test is rather challenging. The normative data indicated a significantly higher mean score in professional musicians (14/20, SD= 2.12) than in musically naive controls (6.5/20, SD= 0.71)
