Test your musical visual intelligence
May 27, 2008 – 10:40 pm
Can you ‘see’ music? What would Beethoven’s 5th Symphony look like if it was a drawing? Hows about the Macarena?
Associative Music Visual Intelligence (AMVI) is the ability for individuals to be able to associate their experiences across audio and visual sensory domains.
This simple online tests your ability to associate music to visual patterns. Upon startup, the flash-based test displays 3 patterns, then plays you a snippit of a musical composition. Based on your perception, you try to match the music with one of the three patterns.
This interesting test was developed by Jake Mandell who is a medical student at Massachusetts. Along with being a musician with 4 albums released, he has done research in neuroimaging which gave him a cross reference between brain function and music perception.
His medical knowledge of neurology and his music appreciation gave him the insight and ability to test, and perhaps bridge, the gap between visual and auditory senses.
