Scientists’ work on the human brain continues at full speed. In this context; People who have lost some of their abilities due to brain damage or disease, will regain some devices are already developed. with the power of thought Some devices that enable movement and speech are among the most important examples of studies on the subject.
But now, regarding brain activity groundbreaking there has been a development. A group of scientists, by analyzing the brain waves of a person listening to music, againcan be produced they found out. Although the result is not perfect yet, experts believe that with the studies conducted, a much better point can be reached. In the new future it will be possible to detect what you are listening to just by examining your brain waves, and even what you are listening to can be simulated in the virtual environment.
Previous studies have been completed thanks to artificial intelligence
He worked at the University of California in the past and now works in a private company. Ludovic Bellier and his team conducted a study to understand how the human brain perceives music. During this study, which coincided with a 2012 study, the team came first about ready-made data He started working.
In a 2012 study, 29 patients with severe epilepsy were given Pink Floyd’s “”another brick in the wallThe first part of his song “was played, the activities in the brain were recorded one by one, and then your words It was reproduced with special devices. This study was recorded as a first in those years. Ludovic Bellier and his team have made an entirely new discovery with that data.
*The template prepared for the study. On the left you can see the sound waves emitted by the Pink Floyd song. In the middle is the activity of these waves in the brain. The image on the right represents sound waves created by artificial intelligence. Note the similarity in the waves on the left and right.
The research team analyzed data from 2012 and was able to decipher the activity in the brain’s auditory cortex and convert it back into music. a special artificial intelligence model they used. This artificial intelligence is music recorded by brain waves of scientists. recreate as long as. The resulting sound is not very clear. It also sounded robotic. The artificial intelligence model in question can be trained should not be forgotten. In other words, much better results will be achieved in the future.
Here’s a remake of the Pink Floyd song:
So why is this work “groundbreaking”?
The research in itself may not have excited you enough. However, the research team is more than satisfied with their results. Because this study brain-computer interface technologies are supposed to evolve. Bellier said they are in a very early stage and said: This method connects the brain to brain-computer interfaces. in the deepest parts showed that even activities can be analyzed.
Google has an artificial intelligence model that turns thoughts into music:
