- zyklon, on 07/06/2009, -0/+14I mistook this for an article on how one might be able to listen in on the music that's playing in my head. I was about to say, as a musician it would be interesting to be able to record the music I have brewing in my head all day and not forget it as usual!
- jeffwmartin, on 07/06/2009, -0/+9Nickleback makes their music by turning their brains off, I don't think they have to worry.
- Masterful1, on 07/06/2009, -2/+10I was hoping to hear some of the music played, guess that would be too much to ask. Also I wonder what the playback of a brain listening to music composed by another brain would sound like.
- jeffwmartin, on 07/06/2009, -0/+7I've wished for several years to have a USB port mounted in my head so I can download the tunes I have going in there. I have great ideas, but by the time I get home to my instruments, they're gone.
- BasalCellBossk, on 07/06/2009, -0/+5Mine sounds like mid-70s Zappa.
- SineCurve, on 07/06/2009, -0/+5I thought it was pretty innovative. It sure is a refreshing change from trying to make sense of squiggly lines on graph paper. :)
Here's the youtube page of Dan Lloyd, the researcher responsible for the sonification project. He has a lot of examples, but the video on differences between a normal and schizophrenic brain is the most striking, in my opinion.

- acknotSW, on 07/06/2009, -1/+5How long before the RIAA sues someone because their brain music sounds like something nickback put out?
- Rhendal, on 07/06/2009, -0/+4It'd be great if the narrator let us listen to some of it instead of talking over the whole damn thing.
- StickWST, on 07/06/2009, -3/+7FFFFUUUUUUUU
- ennuisquared, on 07/06/2009, -2/+5The music of my brain is "Ass-N-Titties" by DJ Assault.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eTI2xX5ttkQ - whytey, on 07/06/2009, -0/+3imagine being able to listen to music in your brain
...just like quagmire - MaryCait, on 07/06/2009, -0/+3I was hoping to hear more of the "music" as well.
I like your idea of meta-brain music! - eShinn, on 07/06/2009, -0/+2I was just thinking that. Anybody else get a tingling sensation while listening to it?
- lelebelle, on 07/06/2009, -0/+2Interesting, but I would've liked to listen to the scans without the creepy deaf robot voice talking over them.
- SillyRabbits, on 07/06/2009, -0/+2And an annoying robot at that...
- Wingin, on 07/06/2009, -0/+2Thanks. I really wanted to hear this. I thought there was a video link at the article but I couldn't get it to work.
- jfitz369, on 07/06/2009, -0/+1Like Techno?
- jcurt81, on 07/06/2009, -0/+1cool stuff
- cersad, on 07/06/2009, -0/+1Does it say anything about me if I liked the schizophrenic music better than the healthy music when I listened to the link posted by SineCurve?
- Fogdelune, on 07/06/2009, -1/+2I wonder what my brain music would sound like while listening to my brain music.
- whahaa, on 07/06/2009, -0/+1but what would the signal sound like underwater?
if it sounds like humpback whales, i propose that we go backwards in time, find humpback whales, then bring them forward in time, drop 'em off, and hope to hell they tell this probe what to do with itself. - cersad, on 07/06/2009, -0/+1I totally agree. Someone needs to take this technology and turn it into a music composing system that can be controlled by our brains--even if I had to train my mind to use it, it seems like it would be completely worth it. Of course, the software would have to move beyond the pentatonic scale.
- MatlasK, on 07/06/2009, -0/+1What happens if you hear your own brain music?
- Rhendal, on 07/06/2009, -0/+1Yeah I don't think that's an issue.
http://www.youtube.com/user/dlloyd1984 - ProfessorSexy, on 07/06/2009, -0/+0now we need to make some sand resonate on it and see what shape it takes...
- andyd273, on 07/06/2009, -1/+1Its an audio watermark.
They don't want it to leak out onto the internets.
Before you know it someone will get sued because their brain music sounded to much like someone else's brain music and they will have to pay royalties for each thought...
Wait, I have a great idea!
Huh? Copyright violation? F'in RIAA - snagglefoof, on 07/06/2009, -1/+1FTA:
"WHAT"
"home in on patterns"
: ( - OLTP, on 07/06/2009, -2/+1I think an autistic brain might sound like a broken record, repeating the same pattern about every 4 beats or so.
