Brain'sNeurons (neurons)Information is transmitted using electric signals. This electric signal recorded by the electrode installed on the head is "ElectroencephalogramIn general, it is known to have a frequency of 0 to 30 Hz.

As it is known that the brain wave changes according to the sleep cycle, different brain waves appear depending on the human mental state and emotion, and you can control brain waves to some extent by meditating and changing breathing methods . And by using a program called Max / MSP, it is possible to detect brain waves from the brain wave headset and reproduce it as a sound that can be heard by humans. In other words, if you are trained to control brain waves, you can use Max / MSP to play music.

However, even if it is possible to play music using brain waves, it is extremely difficult to play instruments according to that music. Because the brain is activated by listening to music, if you hear the music played at Max / MSP with your own ear, the brain wave will change due to the influence,The act of playing an instrument itself also activates the brainBecause it is inevitably affected by EEG if you try to accompany it.
