Artificial intelligence has become the world’s latest buzzword. And experts have been busy demonstrating its capabilities in virtually every field, including music. And it appears that AI did not fare well in the generation of music.
They recruited 50 participants for this study who have a strong understanding of music, particularly musical notes and other essential components.

According to the University of York study, AI-generated music is “inferior to human-composed music.”
Summary: Researchers explore how sounds and music have the power to soothe, energize, and connect us to one another.

When Ludwig van Beethoven began losing his hearing as a young man in 1,798, he blamed it on a fall, though modern researchers believe illness, lead poisoning or a middle ear deformity could have been factors.

By embedding commands in YouTube videos, streaming music, or even voice calls and Zoom meetings, NUIT can silently take control.
Neurosity’s headset uses electroencephalogram technology, or EEG, to measure brain activity by placing small metal electrodes on a person’s scalp. If the electrodes detect decreased electrical activity in the brain, the Crown plays music and sounds, or pulses vibrations, hoping those actions will help the user focus.
But some developers, it seems, have taken Neurosity’s tech a step further, turning the Crown into a more traditional brain computer interface that can allow users to control a computer using only their mind.
One owner of the gadget claimed they’ve used it to drive a Tesla, moving the electric car short distances by doing some mental math, which signals to the device that the person wearing it is exerting a lot of cognitive effort.
Grimes got a new brain gadget for her 35th birthday.
“Getting a non invasive brain computer interface for my birthday (!!!!?),” she tweeted Friday. “Yeah it’s a good time to be alive.”
Neurosity CEO AJ Keller confirmed that the singer, named Claire Boucher, had asked for one of the company’s headsets, known as the Crown, in a custom white color.
I used to listen to classical music more. I’m going to start again. I was searching for an article that said music helps heal brain injury but I can only find ones where it’s playing instruments that does that. But the Mozart effect is healthy and relaxing.
Just another example of how much you gain by listening.
Using music to heal the brain. If you have a TBI or know someone with one like myself, music is very therapeutic. Get some nice earbuds or over the way headphones. Wired is best or get some with long battery life. I find I feel peace and relief when I listen to certain types of music.
Why neurologic music therapy should be part of standard rehabilitation care.
