Researchers at EPFL can now see what happens in our brains when we hear music in our heads. The researchers hope that in time their findings will be used to help people who have lost the ability to speak. When we listen to music, different parts of our brain process different information - such as high and low frequencies - so that our auditory perception of the sounds matches what we hear.

Like many tropical wood types, ebony is an endangered species that is tricky to use, such in in-strument manufacturing.

A deep-learning algorithm developed by EPFL scientists can generate melodies that imitate a given style of music.
