Scientists have reconstructed Pink Floyd’s “Another Brick in the Wall” through recordings of epilepsy surgery patients’ brainwaves as they listened to the song.<br /><br />It is the first time a recognisable song has been decoded from the recordings of brain activity.<br /><br />It is possible to make out the original song from the reconstruction, the phrase “all in all it was just a brick in the wall” slurred but recognisable.<br /><br />“It’s a wonderful result,” said Robert Knight, a neurologist and UC Berkeley professor of psychology in the Helen Wills Neuroscience Institute who conducted the study with postdoctoral fellow Ludovic Bellier.
