These Italian chads simply ooze soul, give them a listen and a follow frens!

1. 🧠 Scientists recreated the legendary Pink Floyd song, ‘Another Brick in the Wall’ from a Listener’s Brain waves - this has exciting implications including a potential to restore speech in paralyzed patients. These exciting findings build on previous work to reconstruct plain speech from brain activity,” said Shailee Jain, a neuroscientist at the University of California.

Listen to the original version and the version reconstructed from the Brain Waves below - it is truly mind-blowing!

2. 🎹 DeBeats, a Decentralized Rhythm Game, teased their development progress on Twitter. The game is to be deployed on Polygon although it was a winner in the Solana Summer Camp Hackathon. The game is designed similar to the Magic Tiles/Guitar Hero concept but with NFT and Decentralized concepts merged in - looks quite exciting!

3.  AudioLDM2 was released by a group of researchers, paving the way for an integrated method of audio synthesis, revolutionizing the way we produce and perceive sound in a variety of contexts, including speech, music, and sound effects. You could take an image and generate contextual sound from it - massive implications for use cases like vision for the blind. Geetansh Jindal has a wonderful illustration of how this would work.
