Artificial Intelligence , Reconstructs Music From, People's Brain Activity Data.
'Rolling Stone' reports that neuroscientists have successfully recreated a piece of music from electrical signals recorded in the human brain.
.
In a study published in 'PLOS Biology,' data from 29 people was analyzed by artificial intelligence after they underwent brain surgery.
.
While undergoing surgery, the patients were being monitored for epileptic seizures with electrodes recording electrical activity in the brain.
At the same time, participants listened to Pink Floyd's song, "Another Brick in the Wall.".
The electrodes recorded electrical activity in several brain regions tuned to the sound of musical elements.
'Rolling Stone' reports that scientists then trained an artificial intelligence model to decode the information and reproduce the sounds of the song.
.
According to the study, while the results were garbled, the recreated tune was still recognizable.

.
The reconstruction was even able to capture some words, including "all," "was" and "just a brick.".
The study's lead author, Ludovic Bellier, detailed why the team chose Pink Floyd's iconic 1979 hit.
.
The scientific reason, which we mention in the paper, is that the song is very layered.
It brings in complex chords, different instruments and diverse rhythms that make it interesting to analyze, Ludovic Bellier, lead author, via 'Rolling Stone'.

The less scientific reason might be that we just really like Pink Floyd, Ludovic Bellier, lead author, via 'Rolling Stone'
