minors. critics say it s dangerous. the debate rages on. bill: that tune right there is making big news. scientific breakthrough giving new hope to people who lost the ability to speak after a stroke or other physical condition. researchers have reconstructed that song by listening to people s brain waves. fox news contributor marty makary professor at johns hopkins university. play a clip in a moment. how are they doing this? how would you explain it simply? well, when we put electrodes like an ekg-type electrode on the scalp, you can get brain waves. now these signals are scattered and hard to interpret. sort of like a bunch of pieces of puzzle that have no meaning. using a.i. researchers were able to put all the data together and
In a significant breakthrough, researchers from the University of California, Berkeley, have decoded a classic Pink Floyd song from patients brain waves. Could communication without words become a reality soon?
it s a cover of pink floyd with a big difference! scientists have reconstructed the classic rock track another brick in the wall using brainwaves. it s hoped this breathrough could to help people with neurological damage to communicate. so is this mind reading? let s take a listen. song plays. i m joined now by the neuroscientist ludovic bellier, who conducted the study. very good to have you with us, so let s talk through this step by step. what exactly did you do to get that in the first place? we recorded some data, with intracranial electrodes to look at original brain waves. they were in
