    How can one guy be this good and have such an understanding of electronic music/production AND also complete a PhD in neuroscience?! How are some people so productive at such a high level?!

    • @naishkiteboarder
      @naishkiteboarder 4 роки тому +50

      Neural signal processing involves a lot of the same concepts as sound synthesis. Basically electrophysiology, analyzing the number and the frequency of spikes in neurons and what not is the same as analyzing sound. So the two fields certainly overlap

      Maybe we can ask him to hook up a mouse with an electrode in its brain to an amplifier and then into a synth

      @@naishkiteboarder That's exactly what I do. I'm doing a Ph.D. in Neuroscience and producing electronic music. I often record brain signals from rats and men, and I send them into synths and DAWs. The results are stunning! The brain is probably the most powerful synth

      Not really sure it's relevant considering many of electronic music's most innovative pioneers didn't have degrees, or considering that Max Cooper isn't really that exciting (his visuals are what set him apart, his music isn't particularly deep)
