This is the best summary I could come up with:

It may not always be that way, and that’s a good thing for patients unable to speak due to neurological problems—and eventually, for anyone who wants to work more efficiently, researchers at the University of California Berkeley say.

While receiving surgery they hoped would cure intractable seizures, Pink Floyd’s 1979 single “Another Brick in the Wall, Part 1” played in the operating room.

Using artificial intelligence, Bellier was able to reconstruct the song from that electrical activity in each patient’s brain, according to an article published Tuesday in the journal PLoS Biology.

Bellier’s work will be used to develop even better brain-machine interfaces, which can be used by paralyzed patients like the late Stephen Hawking to express themselves, Knight said—only not so robotically, and eventually, perhaps, merely by thinking.

If the technology is streamlined, it may eventually aid those without disabling conditions—think thought workers—more easily sync with a computer to type text from their minds.

As for the potential of privacy concerns to develop, Bellier said he’d be more worried about what Big Tech knows about us now, thanks to the monitoring and tracking of online activity.
