What started out as an artistic pursuit quickly turned into a scientific purpose as two professors from Stanford University realized their musical recordings of brain activity could be used to identify seizures.

 


The original audio of the seizure patient has been posted on YouTube:

"Around 0:20, the patient’s seizure starts in the right hemisphere, and the patient is talking and acting normally. Around 1:50, the left hemisphere starts seizing while the right is in a post-ictal state. The patient is mute and confused. At 2:20 both hemispheres are in the post-ictal state. Patient is looking around, still confused, trying to pick at things, and get out of bed."
