- Making music with brain waves, via The musician's brain blog, viewed Mar. 11, 2020(The encephalophone uses electroencephalography (EEG), a noninvasive technique for measuring electrical activity in the brain; neurologist Dr. Thomas Deuel at the University of Washington holds a patent on his particular version, which uses EEG motor imagery to control a synthesized keyboard. But the electroencephalophone was actually invented in the 1940s at the University of Edinburgh--obviously not a digital version at that time)

Meet the encephalophone : an instrument you can play with your mind, just by thinking, in Seattle times, Mar. 23, 2017, viewed online Mar. 11, 2020(the encephalophone, a new instrument you can play without moving a muscle; a neuro-musical invention: the encephalophone; to play the encephalophone, a musician wears an electroencephalogram (EEG) cap fitted with electrodes that read brain waves and transmit them to a synthesizer; Other musicians and scientists have used EEG technology to make sound before, Deuel said, but only "passively generated sound" based on brain activity. The encephalophone, he explained, is "an EEG-controlled musical instrument")
- Wikipedia, Mar. 11, 2020(Electroencephalophone or encephalophone; experimental musical instrument and diagnostic tool which uses brain waves to generate or modulate sounds; electroencephalophone is a quintephone in the sense that it creates sound from "5th classical element" (i.e. from beyond the world of matter))
- Google patents, viewed Mar. 11, 2020(Encephalophone; UW20160027423A1; a novel musical instrument was created using electroencephalogram (EEG) motor imagery to control a synthesized piano, and is herein named the Encephalophone. Alpha-frequency (8-12 Hz) signal power, originating from either posterior dominant rhythm (PDR) in the occipital cortex or from mu rhythm in the motor cortex, was used to create a power scale which was then converted into a musical scale which could be manipulated by the individual. Subjects could then generate different notes of the scale by activation (event-related synchronization) or de-activation (event-related desynchronization) of the PDR or mu rhythms in occipital or motor cortex, respectively)
