Brain2Music: Reconstructing Music from Human Brain Activity

paper page: https://t.co/4UOCG2AYhg

The process of reconstructing experiences from human brain activity offers a unique lens into how the brain interprets and represents the world. In this paper, we introduce a method for reconstructing music from brain activity, captured using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Our approach uses either music retrieval or the MusicLM music generation model conditioned on embeddings derived from fMRI data. The generated music resembles the musical stimuli that human subjects experienced, with respect to semantic properties like genre, instrumentation, and mood. We investigate the relationship between different components of MusicLM and brain activity through a voxel-wise encoding modeling analysis. Furthermore, we discuss which brain regions represent information derived from purely textual descriptions of music stimuli.

@MAIN_Community Haha. Typo do happen to everyone. Thanks for pointing it out

We ( @artcogsys ) have a new preprint: https://t.co/RMVbIRqX5W

We propose a modeling framework that learns population receptive fields, layer-wise representations and the flow of neural information in a single end-to-end convolutional neural network model trained on brain data.
