thanks for linking the video, that was the closest thing to getting to actually hear it.

I feel like the people who made this may be over hyping the significance of specific neuron signals during brain decay. I'm not a neurologist though. it just kind of seems like flat sounding metal discs were chosen for the exhibit because they sound less crap when played randomly.

this is clearly more symbolic than the article is trying to make it sound

So is the brain matter actually making music or is it more of an art exhibit where they trigger the brain matter to trigger the instrument?

Seems more like using a faulty radiator to make a random rhythm generator. They are using his cells to make "organs" and use the signals of them talking to each other to make a machine move
