PLoS Biology showed that scientists can train a computer to recreate a song based solely on the brain activity of someone listening to music.Scientists were able to reconstruct a passable cover of Pink Floyd’s 1979 song, “Another Brick in the Wall (Part 1).”“It’s a wonderful result,” co-author Robert T. Knight, a neurologist and UC Berkeley professor of psychology at the Helen Wills Neuroscience Institute, said in a media release.

Pink Floyd‘s classic track ‘Another Brick in the Wall, Part 1’ by decoding the brain signals of a person listening to it.As The Independent reports, a team from the University Of California, Berkeley discovered how to reconstruct the 1979 song after placing electrodes on the brains of patients and playing the music as they underwent epilepsy surgery.Their brain activity was then analysed, which allowed the neuroscientists to reproduce the track’s rhythm and pick out recognisable lines such as “All in all it’s just another brick in the wall”.It marks the first-ever time that a recognisable song has been reconstructed from brain recordings. Previously, scientists have used similar brain-reading techniques to try and decipher speech from thoughts.“It’s a wonderful result,” said Robert Knight, a neurologist and UC Berkeley professor of psychology at the Helen Wills Neuroscience Institute, who conducted the new research.“One of the things for me about music is it has prosody and emotional content.
