This reminds me of  the work of  Dr. Linda Long, a biochemist and musician, who develops  Molecular Music from plant and human protein molecules. She uses the results for therapeutic purposes and to increase understanding of science and the human body. 

From Utne:

Using people’s brain waves as the notes, scientists have created music. The researchers from China took brain wave readings from EEGs as the original source and used complex math to create pitch and rhythm for the waves. If their methods were improved, according to the Neruotopia 2.0 blog, the music could be used to detect Alzheimer’s, schizophrenia, or other irregularities in the brain. 

Here are a few of the tracks that the researchers have created so far:

Brain with eyes open

Brain in REM sleep

Brain in slow-wave sleep

    Amazing! As a psychologist and musician it was fun to listen to the tracks the researchers have created! Are they saying each person has a particular pattern? All the time? Or do the patterns vary? So many questions! Thanks for sharing!
