I'm not sure exactly what to make of this, but I can't resist passing it along. The gist is that researchers managed to train birds (part of) a specific song by simulatin neural cells with light. The length of the light pulses corresponsed to the duration of the notes in the song. This is a long way from brain-writing, of course, but arguably the songs have been "transcribed" - in part - in the birds' brains. This link is to a summary; the full paper s behind a paywall, sorry.
