Scientists Reconstruct Pink Floyd Song Using Brain Waves

Scientists have successfully reconstructed a cover of Pink Floyd's song "Another Brick in the Wall (Part 1)" solely based on the brain activity of individuals listening to the music. By analyzing recordings from electrodes placed on the brains of epilepsy patients, researchers were able to identify thoughts related to the song's tone, rhythm, harmony, and lyrics. This breakthrough in understanding how the brain processes music could potentially lead to improved devices for individuals with speech difficulties, allowing for the reproduction of musicality in speech.
