Neuroscientists have, for the first time, reconstructed a recognizable song from brainwave recordings. Researchers at UC Berkeley took data from a study of 29 epilepsy patients whose brain activity was measured while listening to Pink Floyd’s “Another Brick in the Wall, Part 1.” Host Carol Hills speaks with neuroscientist Ludovic Bellier, lead author of the study that reconstructed the music from the data and showed which parts of the brain process melody and rhythm. The paper, “Music can be reconstructed from human auditory cortex activity using nonlinear decoding models,” was published this week in PLOS Biology.
