Music can be reconstructed from human auditory cortex activity using nonlinear decoding models

Researchers who recorded direct neural signals from people listening to “Another Brick in the Wall” have reproduced a recognizable version of the song from the neural data.

I'm sure this will never be abused to brutalize the working class
- Warning: attention drift detected please refocus on work. Six seconds deducted from shift total.
- Hey, Pink Floyd aren't that bad.
Were the test subjects comfortably numb during the test?
- One would hope.
Here's what you came for: the WAV downloads of the original audio, the version sampled from linear data, and the version sampled with nonlinear data. There are more of these in the OP which use less electrodes on less patients, you can find them quickly by using Control+F.
Original song waveform transformed into a magnitude-only auditory spectrogram, then transformed back into a waveform using an iterative phase-estimation algorithm.
Reconstructed song excerpt using linear models fed with all 347 significant electrodes from all 29 patients.

The nonlinear sampling sounds far more accurate than the linear sampling.
Black Mirror “Ashley Too” episode anyone?
