Researchers from Google joined Japan’s Osaka University to conduct a study that saw them convert brain activity into streamable music.
For the effort, five volunteers underwent fMRI scans while being played music from an assortment of 500 tracks across 10 genres.
Researchers then took the scans of the volunteers’ brain activity and fed them into an AI model they had built called Brain2Music. The program draws information from the scans to produce songs inspired by those the volunteers were listening to.
The new AI-generated songs came from Google’s production tool, MusicLM, which is a text-to-music model that churns out tracks based on text descriptions.
Impressive, but I have to wonder how far it could take this . If I'm doing something that requires intense thought (for example, working or playing chess), could it turn those thought patterns into a good song ?
And of course, there's an intellectual property rights issue here: if this AI generates music based on my thoughts, could I claim to be the 'writer' of the music ?
