Abstract

To listen to brain activity as a piece of music, we proposed scale-free brainwave music (SFBM) technology, which translated the electroencephalogram (EEG) into musical notes according to the power law of both the EEG and music. In this talk, first shown is the general scale-free phenomena in the world, then a few versions of brain music are presented, they are music from one EEG channel, Quartet from multichannel EEGs, and music from both EEG and fMRI. Finally, potential application for mental health is discussed.
