Scientists Create Eerie Ambient Music Using Human Brains, MRI Machines

Yikes.

This is VERY old news!!! There are art rock bands now that are using this in their live shows while suspended from meat hooks! It's STILL insanely awesome!!! I so want to use brain wave recordings on some of my songs!!! I have been using altered radio frequency on a lot of songs & even though that produces some wild ambient sounds,it's not nearly as cool as brain waves!

I would totally pay for a CD of my brainwaves!

It sounds like nintendo Wii when you start it up.

That broad needs to stop talking!

I would love to hear the different sounds from different kinds of people, like what would stephen hawking's brain sound like? or a buddhist monks? would it sound relaxing? what would someone filled with alot of hate, like a 'terrorist', sound like? I wonder...it would be very cool to get a recording of your own brain

My kind of music.

Nice, quite relaxing actually.

Wish I had been part of this research project!

I think it's really cool! Very interesting, and I hope it helps them notice patterns that may have otherwise gone unnoticed! (P.S. I featured this on Current Science! http://current.com/topics/32969142_science/)

Eh, I've seen this done with EEG...it still kinda sucks. It's an interesting concept and all, but seeing as it currently costs about 700 bucks an hour to use an MRI machine...this seems like a waste.

I like and study brain research...but just not this stuff. They always built it up...and then it's a let down. There's never enough varied activation with either of these techniques to create something really cool....

Fucking astonishing. So many creative and scientific possibilities!

Am I the only one who would be willing to pay to have my brain soundtrack recorded? I think this is pretty darn nifty. Now I want to know what my brain sounds like! And I agree with the others who said that the video would probably be better without the voice over. The voice made it difficult to hear the "brain music."

Buddhism, Ummmmm a note held into vibration, answer solved.

Thats pretty cool if you ask me. DO me do me!

That lady needs to shut up... I couldn't hear anything with her stupid voice blocking out the sound. Now I'm just pissed off.

This isn't my kind of party music. :)

I wonder if there's any way to set up a specific enough pattern of stimuli for people that would generate a genuine song, or instrument. If so, the next logical step would be to make a, "brain band," with different people on different instruments. How great would that be?

I could barely hear all of it with that woman talking ._. gosh.

Humans and probably other earth creatures as well also use their sense of hearing. I observe this with my wife who is totally deaf. In a dark room or at night without lights she loses her sense of balance and needs assistance .

Seems very interesting, though I wish I could just listen to the sounds without the voiceover.

I would love to hear an entire album created entirely with brainwaves. However, I may be the only one...so don't invest too much money in producing it.
