Could a genome be converted into a sound you can listen to? Has this been done in some way ? Had he more quickly realized just who they were,he would have shown them more respect.Had he tried harder to fathom their brilliant minds,he would have taken more of their teachings to heart.Had he more clearly understood the purpose of their being,
he would have more vigorously tried to assist them.They were truly honorable; he was sadly prejudiced.
They were exceedingly well informed; he was grossly ignorant.They were totally indefatigable; he so often, and so quickly,gave up. Still, for many years there was a strong inter-species alliance between the Eleven-Eleven of the Half-way Realm, their Seraphic Associates,and their flesh-and-blood friend, a common mortal. Much was accomplished, many profited, and, thereβs only one regret...They could have achieved so much more...

?? what would you be listening to? in short, no. it hasn't been done, and I don't see how it could be. the only way I can think of (and I've had the idea myself), is to use the voltage out signal from an analytical machine, in this case, a sequence analyzer, interfaced to a VCO (voltage-controlled oscillator). you wouldn't be listening to the molecule itself, but the conversion of electrical potential to a series of audible tones.

on a similar but slightly unrelated note, i was thinking about a concept that you might find interesting ben: since we now have technology that can fairly efficiently map some of the electrical patterns in the brain for specific stimulus (visual, emotional, etc), and we have comptuer programs wherein someone who's hooked up to an EEG can control a mouse or a helicopter in a little game with just their mind/brainwaves, then wouldn't it theoretically be possible to map out the electrical response in the brain to specific notes of music, and then if that's possible, translate the signals from imagining music in your head into MIDI notes and eventually music on a computer? basically i'm fantasizing about being able to hook your head up to a computer and translate the music yuo hear in your head onto it. thoughts? They don't think it be like it is, but it do.

thoughts? well, yea...I don't see why something like that wouldn't be possible  but, EEG patterns would translate out to seemingly random notes, as the patterns themselves (especially in alpha, beta, and gamma )show an output of highly variable peaks and valleys.

DNA code could of course be listened to but since each gene in a chromosome has only 2 possible values, it would likely just be random noise. At the very best, the sound would be restricted to a square wave. Regarding using an EEG to generate music, it has already been done I think. Non-invasive EEG devices are available for consumers now, and as they become less expensive, we will likely see applications such as music and gaming become more and more common. Every day I am thankful that I was introduced to psychedelic drugs.
