Using combined regression-based decoding models and encoding analyses, this study successfully reconstructed a Pink Floyd song from recorded neural activity, revealing involvement of the superior temporal gyrus in information processing during music perception, and making an important step towards adding musical elements to brain-computer interface applications.

Researchers who recorded direct neural signals from people listening to “Another Brick in the Wall” have reproduced a recognizable version of the song from the neural data.
