SCHIZOPHRENIA AS SOUND: listening to the dynamic brain

fMRI data converted to musical sound. Brain images are preprocessed into 20 distributed ensembles, “Independent Components,“ and each is assigned a tone on a pentatonic scale. The loudness of each note corresponds to the intensity of activity in the corresponding regions of the brain. In this video, you can listen to soundtracks of healthy subjects alternating with schizophrenia patients. At the end, there are a few comments about statistical differences that may explain some of the audible variation.
