"Wake Beats" was created from recordings of brain activity in a human subject during wakefulness. The first part is made by associating sounds to the neural signals, the second part uses "loops" from periods where the activity was very rhythmic.  Composed by Alain Destexhe and Luc Foubert, posted June 2016.

Wake Beats

This song was composed from neurons recorded in humans, during slow-wave sleep.  The inhibitory neurons form the rhythmic sections, while excitatory neurons drive the melodic parts.  We have tried to use slow sound envelopes to incarnate the slow waves of sleep.  Composed by Alain Destexhe and Luc Foubert, posted July 2016.

Slow Waves

This song was composed from neurons recorded in humans, during Rapid-Eye Movement (REM) sleep, where most dreams occur. The inhibitory neurons form the rhythmic sections (emphasized here), while excitatory neurons drive the melodic parts.  Composed by Alain Destexhe and Luc Foubert, posted October 2016.

REMiniscence

Jazzy version of neuronal music made from human neurons recorded in an awake subject.  Inhibitory neurons form the rhythmic and bass sections, while excitatory neurons are played on a xylophone.

Jazzy-wake

Jazzy version of neuronal music made from human neurons recorded in a subject while dreaming (paradoxical sleep).  Inhibitory neurons form the rhythmic and bass sections, while excitatory neurons are played on a xylophone.
