Brain music: Turn on, tune in, feel better
To make brain music, a doctor records the electrical activity in a person's brain with EEG equipment. An EEG, in essence, represents the brain's main musical score, and its rhythm and tempo deviate from this depending on a person's waking state, mood and other factors.
