"Scientists Use Brainwaves to Recreate Pink Floyd Song"

Scientists have successfully reconstructed Pink Floyd's "Another Brick in the Wall" by decoding brainwaves, marking the first time a recognizable song has been decoded from electrical brain activity. The study aims to restore musicality to patients with neurological conditions that affect speech. Previous attempts at decoding speech from brain recordings lacked emotional and prosodic qualities, but music offers a broader spectrum of elements that could enhance speech decoding. By analyzing brain recordings from 29 patients, the researchers used artificial intelligence to reproduce the sounds and words of the song, albeit muffled. The study also identified new brain areas involved in rhythm detection and confirmed the right side of the brain's dominance in music processing.
