"Scientists Decode Pink Floyd Song Using Brain Waves, Paving the Way for Wordless Communication"

TL;DR Summary
Researchers at the University of California Berkeley have used artificial intelligence to reconstruct Pink Floyd's song "Another Brick in the Wall, Part 1" from the electrical activity of 29 epileptic patients' brains. The study focused on the brain's perception of melody and aims to develop better brain-machine interfaces for paralyzed patients to express themselves. The research also has implications for patients with speech disorders, stroke, ALS, and non-verbal apraxia. In the future, as brain recording technology improves, it may be possible to transmit thoughts through scalp electrodes, allowing for communication without words.
