Beethoven famously composed several masterpieces while he was deaf, but surely even he would be impressed with this piece of research.

A group led by BCI expert Gemot Mullei Putz shows that experiences of quite a different tone can be sounded from BCL Adapting from an established BCI method which mainly enables disabled people to write, the team has developed a new application by which music can be composed and transferred(转录)onto a musical score(乐谱)，just through the power of thought. All you need is a special cap which measures brain waves, the adapted BCI, a software for composing music, and of course a bit of musical knowledge.

The basic principle of the BCI method used can be briefly described：various options, such as letters or notes, pauses, chords, etc. flash by one after another in a table. If youVe received some training and can focus on the desired option while it lights up on a screen in front of you, you cause a minute change in your brain waves. The BCI recognises this change and draws conclusions about the chosen option.

Eighteen test persons had to “think” melodies onto a musical score. All test subjects were of sound bodily health during the study and had a certain degree of basic musical and compositional knowledge. Following user-centered design guidelines, researchers investigated the efficiency, the effectiveness and subjective criteria. The subjective criteria evaluation revealed that users were highly satisfied with the applicatioa “The results of the BCI compositions can really be heard. And what is more important：the test persons enjoyed it The very positive results of the study with bodily healthy test persons are the first step in a possible expansion of the BCI composition to patients,"stresses Mullei-Putz.

“Twenty years ago, the idea of composing a piece of music using the power of the mind was unimaginable. Now we can do it, but we still need a bit more time before BCI is mature enough for daily applications. ”

28. What do we know about the new application?

A. It consists of four parts.

B. It's impractical for daily use.
