Scientists Create Lullabies From Brain Waves

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the songs-stuck-in-your-head dept.

Lord Custos writes "From ABC News: Your Brain Waves are Better than Sleeping Pills! Everyone has a song in them...literally. And you can use it to put yourself to sleep. Canadian scientists have discovered that deep sleep can be induced in insomniacs by copying the insomniacs brainwaves, turning it into 'music', and then playing this 'audio transcription' of their own sleep brainwave pattern back to them."

    perhaps I replaced /dev/dsp with a shell script.

    That still wouldnt make you a Linux user. :P

    *it should be in a lib directory then so we dont all yell at you*

    Hellooo, it was a JOKE, can't you take a joke unless it's 100% correct and realistic?

    Laugh man, and have a good time.. that's why we're here, not to pick on each other.
