Scientists have recreated the legendary Pink Floyd song by scanning the brain

A recent study published in PLOS Biology in a team of researchers at Albany Medical Center in upstate New York. successfully implemented technology that recreated Another brick in the wall part 1 Pink Floyd using only brain activity.

He used a technique known as stimulus reconstruction and built on previous innovations that allowed researchers to recreate a song similar to the one a person heard.

All 29 participants had drug-resistant epilepsy and intracranial arrays or electrode strips that were surgically implanted to facilitate their treatment. The researchers used these electrodes to record activity in several auditory regions of the human brain, which process aspects of music such as lyrics and harmonies.

The scientists used AI to analyze and then replicate the words and sounds the participants heard.

Listening mostly involved the participants’ right hemisphere, mainly the superior temporal gyrus, and especially when they ingested the unique music. There was also a small level of stimulation on the left hemisphere of the brain. The researchers also found that a dot in the temporal lobe of the brain lit up when the 16th note of rhythm guitar was played when the song was played at 99 beats per minute.

This discovery may provide more information about the role this area plays in rhythm processing. It can also help restore people who have lost the ability to speak due to conditions such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
