> The researchers chose “Another Brick in the Wall, Part 1” because they are fans of Pink Floyd

Missed an opportunity to use Brain Damage instead.

While admittedly a popular song, I'd argue it's not the epitome of Pink Floyd.

I'd like to see them do this experiment with Brain Damage/Eclipse, climax of Echoes, or Celestial Voices.

Kind of surprising they didn't go with "Another Brick in the Wall, Part 2" instead. Part 1 is very low key and doesn't feature much of a recognizable melody. Musically, it doesn't really stand on its own, it only works as part of The Wall as a concept album.

Part 2 has a recognizable melody and it includes the iconic chorus "We don't need no education". If you've grown up in western culture, you've probably been exposed to Part 2 through cultural osmosis even if you're not a fan of Pink Floyd or classic rock.
