Google wants to use AI to turn your brain waves into music
), 15-second clips from 540 music pieces spanning ten different genres were selected at random. Five participants listened to the clips through a pair of MRI-compatible insert earphones, during which time their brain activity was scanned.
The researchers fed the data into MusicLM to “predict and reconstruct the kinds of music which the human subject was exposed to.” In the end, the generated music did bear similarities to the music the test subjects listened to originally “on a semantic level.”for the study featuring the original stimuli and the reconstructions.the information contained in the fMRI data is very temporally and spatially sparse .the limitations of our music generation system.
As with most language models, there is still plenty of work to be done. That said, it’s already clear that AI can effectively use your brain activity to recreate the sounds that you hear. But if you’re worried about a stranger scanning your brain waves and stealing your thoughts, you’re probably safe . The team notes that the volunteers had to spend hours in a large fMRI scanner for this study. So just avoid going on any first dates in large fMRI scanners.
