Scientists at the University of California in Berkeley, CA, have managed to create a version of Pink Floyd's 1979 smash Another Brick In The Wall Part 2 using recordings of patients' brainwaves.

The breakthrough was spearheaded by neurologist Professor Robert Knight, who decoded electrical activity from the auditory region of the brain – where sounds are processed – from 29 patients undergoing surgery for epilepsy.
