Jokes aside, we are literally developing mind-reading technology and this is fucking terryfying.

[@mrkiky]

Thankfully it's so far away still and most likely it won't ever work because there simply isn't enough data in the brainwaves to reconstruct the thought. These neural networks are probably trained on the exact sound clip and the brain waves associated with it over and over and then tasked with reconstruction and that's the only reason it even gets close to sounding somewhat reminiscent. Same with the "telepathic" controllers that read your brainwaves and communicate with computers. There just isn't enough data in those for any fidelity. That's why Neuralink is implanted inside the brain.

[@jonathandemiguel1458]

What I think is happening: In most of these the subject is listening but is also having their own thoughts, which may interfer with the analysis depending on how profound it is. The rooster one is pretty clear because there is no background noise and is very strident, which focuses the brain into listening and focusing into it, eliminating backround processing and interferences

[@carrotfarmer1]

From my understanding, it's also reconstructed audio based on a recognition model so the model won't be fully accurate.

[@skld-xm]

Memories, emotion, reaction but there could be some way everyone’s brain parses audio uniquely

[@starpeep5769]

I want to cry our brains are this inaccurate

[@atigerclaw]

Things like Language ARE contextual, so the stimuli are likely causing the brain to 'fetch and compare' along side the usual audio processing. Probably why the reconstruction of the speaking parts sounds like someone 'put the tape in reverse'. Meanwhile, the music seems to invoke memory of music they either like, or what the instruments remind them of. I mean, that harpsichord almost sounded like it went METAL. The takeaway though, in my opinion, is that the reconstruction did get approximate tones right, even if everything else is a garbled mess. If the clarity of the rooster call is any indication, the most fundamental parts of the information, the frequencies, are easier to process and store. Which makes sense, as that would be a more primordial function. You'll recognize the tone and timbre of your parents' voices long before the rest of your audio processing catches up.

[@littlestbroccoli]

​@@atigerclaw You have a good comment, especially the "fetch and compare" concept. Our brains don't actively pick up and record everything they sense in the first place, so it would be hard to create a reconstruction of a stimulus at all. Most of the time there are huge shortcuts being taken because much of the experience is already stored in long term memory. Then it's just a matter of recall to fill in the sensory blanks. This happens a ton with visual processing. I'd be interested to know whether brains of different ages (baby vs. older adult) interpret sounds and input differently, and I'd venture that they do.

[@Margen67]

Penguins need HUGS

[@lindabork6542]

not quite, there have been things that "read your thoughts" by having a very acute sensor next to your mouth/jaw. basically, a lot of someone's thoughts (or at least their main line of direct thinking) is sent to the mouth as a kind of speech pattern that doesn't lead to actual speech.... probably why some people sometimes accidentally slip up and say their thoughts out loud when they aren't speaking. but it does go to show that thoughts are in some kind of language, or are at least output as such

[@lindabork6542]

also, this isn't reading or interpreting thoughts, it is simply taking how the brain immediately reacts upon hearing an external stimuli and then trying to recreate (or "decode" it). it is effectively reading your brain as your brain gets the sound information from the ear, rather than when the brain tries to recall sounds. if anything, this kind of tech would be a fascinating way of making a kind of "human bug", transmitting or recording exactly what someone hears through their ears without need of any kind of microphone - because the human *is* the microphone

[@BunnLilah]

I really don't think so. I think it's because the method of extracting the data is so primitive. It's like if you had a camera and wanted to display what it saw, but the only output method you had was a black crayon attached to a robot arm. What the camera is seeing isn't black and white and poorly drawn by one robot arm. It's just a limitation of the tech.

Not really, first one sounded like arabic, hebrew, russian, and icelandic all mixed together

These sounds are spooky. You can sense they're all human voices, but are out of tone and are gibberish or an unknown language, as if the souls of the dead are speaking.

Not to me. It's just garbled sound. Like a corrupted file or a broken instrument. It coming from an attempt at interpreting brainwaves attaches no special meaning.

[@BlokHeadAnim]

To people wondering, this isn't literally reading thoughts or like, holding a mic up to someone's brain. It isn't even a route of technology that leads anywhere close to that. It's just an AI that's trained on the music, then trained on brain data recorded from people listening to that same music, then tasked with replaying the music from just the brain data. This couldn't reconstruct an image in your head or a thought you have, it could only theoretically reconstruct sounds you're hearing as you're hearing them if you were hooked up to one of those brainwave reading sensor cap things. Like all AI it's just glorified brute-forcing and pattern recognition.

[@leviticus2001]

Aren't the two like, indistinguishable, though? If you play a sound in your head while hooked up to one of these things, it _would_ pick up on the sound you imagined, although the AI would be useless at deciphering what it was since it won't have a reference.

[@MentalidaddeDelfin]

No one is afraid of AI playing brain-music. The problem is: If AI can play music through a scanner, can AI be trained to recreate mental images? Thoughts?

[@CandleWisp]

​@@MentalidaddeDelfin The thing is, it can't. Images are even harder and contain far more information. And thoughts intertwine with all your senses, making it even more hard.

Yes that is a very common delusion indeed. I think it is funny because given advanced enough technology it is possible. But this still required people to be inside an MRI scanner, and being recorded for 3 hours to gather enough training data. Not something that happens to you unnoticed.

[@cameroncalzone8860]

it's almost as if the reconstruction is our brain attempting to simulate what it just heard, but it can't get it right, which is why we need to listen to music more than just once, it's never just perfectly in our heads ready to be replayed by our imaginations whenever we want

[@derino2151]

1:05 the stimulus was loud sounds overlapping with each other and human voices somewhat noticeable. The reconstruction for S3 and S4 was exactly what i thought it would be: basically static sounds, but for S5 it sounds like a weird hybrid of human voices and the loud sounds which i have no idea what it is exactly. 0:32 the orchestral music reconstructed sounds like a rock tune passed through a cheese grater on S3, on S4 it sounds still highly messed up but it starts to feel very similar to the stimuli and on S5 it looks like the person was thinking of a medieval battle 0:00 "they'll be alert and killed by the bait. Horseflies are-" and it seems that on S3, S4, and S5 the reconstruction looks like dyslexia, with the gap between the "bait" and "horseflies" being deleted while being still unrecognizable

[@dynamagon]

Despite the actual sound not sounding too similar, I'm still fascinated at how similar the wave forms look on some of these. We're getting closer to reading minds than we think.

[@wakeupthisisntreal8168]

I'm sure it varies from brain to brain. I'm sure there are some brains that would yield reconstructed output almost identical. Or perhaps even more intersting phenominon are possible. What if you heard music as a respinse but it sounded different, or you just heard internal screams.

[@IlliaBright]

Perhaps the sound mystery has to do with fidelity of standard sounds. Human voices seem to be the best bet. Most voices sound different input compared to output but that could be due to how much of communication is nonverbal. Language in humans is very new and the amount of languages implies diversity. The average human exposed to the "english" wouldn't hear the audio as the input. There are very many unconscious events that humans talk about when describing "other human languages": how words sound like other words, pitch, tone and frequency of sounds and rhythm of speech. The prompt for the experiment is: recreate the vibration. That's what sound is. One thing I do think about is how "scientists" go about these experiments because the technology to record this is so new. It's the same criteria as the visual machine - recreate the ______. If I gave the same output as the test subject I would deem myself mentally unwell and "sick". The implication is that the mind is unable to recreate sound, vibration. Literally, if the person gets the output extremely wrong then it implies delusions. The "symphony" gets changed timbre and instead sounds like marimbas playing out of tune. The rooster would still be scary. I mean the "human" speech could have altered timbre in other outputs. It is a personal experiment, the person's thoughts are put on display and fidelity is tested

Interesting reconstruction. But I'm wondering, hard peaks when rooster sound reconstruction are they signals to stimulate brain activity (similar reaction to clock alarm)? The more interesting fact that peaks repeats with different subjects.

[@mike4402]

I feel like this is showing how our brains are big memory banks and every input we receive is compared to every input we had already received and is remembered, and the brain decides what our response is to the input by comparing it to past input. Everything gets quantized down and squished together until its big mess of recognition and emotive responses.
