I did, and it’s absolutely incredible. Keep in mind that the audio was recorded by sticking electrodes on a person’s brain, no speakers or anything. The fact that it is recognizable as music is amazing, but the fact that you can actually hear individual words is totally mind-blowing.
It’s recognizable only if you know what it’s supposed to be. I don’t think anyone could hear that and say “hey, that sounds like Another Brick in the Wall”. I feel like the brain fills in what’s missing and almost forces it to match the same pattern in our head. So it’s definitely cool, but still clearly a science in its early days.
Having not heard the song since I was maybe four, I was annoyed that they gave me the intended lyrics before I played it. I agree that most readers will be primed to hear it correctly despite sounding only new-age trippy on its own.
They didn’t give the intended lyrics. They just provided the name of the song I believe. Which happened to also be the lyrics. The second clip is a little more compelling as it includes vocals, so with that, it’s definitely interesting.

That’s where I disagree, it’s not recognizable as music - at least not without prior prompting.
