A New Brain-Computer Interface for Music Composition
From: ECN Magazine - 10/04/2017

If that melody has just come to you, and if you know your way around a score,
you might be able to think it into being now a group of researchers have
developed a new brain-computer interface (BCI) application.

Work conducted by the MOREGRASP project and the "Feel Your Reach' fellowship,
both supported by the EU, has fed into the findings of a team of researchers,
led by BCI expert Gernot Müller-Putz from TU Graz's Institute of Neural
Engineering. The team has just published a paper showing that thought can
power the transference of music from the composer's brain to a score.

The paper explains that this is the first step towards a music composing
system for severely disabled people. In the light of the feedback received
from participants, the team has fine-tuned the software developed. The paper
explains that this is the first step towards "a Brain Composing system as a
tool for entertainment and, even more importantly, self-expression for
severely disabled people."
