Music from the brain doesn’t equal good music

Looks like there is a way to create music without singing and/or playing musical instruments, and Masaki Batoh has figured out a method. As a means to remember those affected by Japan’s earthquake, Masaki gathered some of the survivors to help out in his grand scheme.

Utilizing a modified EEG machine, Masaki uses the brain waves of the people he selected and converts them into sound. Masaki would show his volunteers images of Japan, and he would take their brain waves from the reaction to create the songs for his musical track known as Brain Pulse Music.

As noble as his act is, the end result is not very pretty. The sounds created from the brain waves come out as high pitch sounds, which is definitely not good for the ears. Screeching sounds are not good either. Overall, the entire process concept is intriguing, but not something that should ever want to put into their ears again. Though it would be neat to see if the device gets modified in the future to produce better sounds that refrain from giving our ears any sort of pain, I’ll take my brain-Twitter implant, thank you very much science.
