An Off-and-On Switch for Controlling
Animals?
04/11/2005 05:29 PM

Researchers at Yale can make fruit flies walk, leap or fly by shining a laser at the insects, a discovery that could, in theory, lead to a sort of animal remote control.

Mark Frauenfelder: In TheFeature, I have a piece about a Silicon Valley startup that's working on a technology that allows people to control a mobile device using brainwave sensing.
One of the intriguing possibilities for NeuroSky's technology is a sleep detector. If you were driving a car and started to fall asleep, the system could sound an alarm and wake you up. NeuroSky is working with partners, most notably China's Ziyitong Technology to develop a sleep-detector as well as systems for gaming and Attention Deficit Disorder.

On The Emperor's Animals...


On The Emperor's Animals... 10/29/2003 12:10 AM

So here's a concept for a new Typepad weblog, inspired by the quirky and immensely pleasing post categories on a friend's weblog. The concept is called The Emperor's Animals and is basically a collection of funny animal links and stories from around the web. The site is designed to resemble 18th/19th Century illustrated guide to fabulous beasts and uses as post categories the The Celestial Emporium of Benevolent Knowledge typology of animals outlined in Jorge Luis Borges' The Analytical Language of John Wilkins. Please please will someone make this. I'd read it every day! Just in case you don't know them off-by-heart already, these categories are:

  1. belonging to the Emperor
  2. embalmed
  3. trained
  4. pigs
  5. sirens
  6. fabulous
  7. stray dogs
  8. included in this classification
  9. trembling like crazy
  10. innumerable
  11. drawn with a very fine camelhair brush
  12. et cetera
  13. just broke the vase
  14. from a distance look like flies

Infrasound animals


Infrasound animals 01/03/2005 10:02 PM
"Infrason ic Symphony" Intrigued by reports of tsunami-avoidance behavior in Sri Lankan wildlife? Science News offers a timely antidote to simplistic mumbo-jumbo about the "mythical power" of animal earthquake detection with a detailed look at the latest research into low-frequency sound. The Elephant Listening Project is particularly interested in elephant rumblings that produce Rayleigh waves. "Mammals, birds, insects, and spiders can detect Rayleigh waves," notes The Explainer. "Most can feel the movement in their bodies, although some, like snakes and salamanders, put their ears to the ground in order to perceive it."

Animals on the Underground


Animals on the Underground 02/15/2004 03:45 PM

Underground
constellations

Sometimes it is a totally obvious and simple idea that is the most brilliant. Animals on the Underground is just that sort of brilliant, simple idea. Constellations of stars have been illustrated for centuries using the connect the dots technique, but applying it to the underground station map is clever and the animals are adorable. Maybe I'll dig out my underground map and try to find a few new ones.

Hare hiding in the grass

A few pictures from a trip to the Helsinki Hall of Taxidermy, a.k.a. the Finnish Museum of Natural History.

Ok, it's true, we were bored while Jarkko was on 2 weeks of holiday that didn't include a trip somewhere and also featured the 4-5 day Easter holiday. What do you do when you've got a few days to kill, no car, no plane tickets and don't want to sit at home answering email or aimlessly surfing the web from the couch? The Finnish Natural History Museum seemed like a good idea one afternoon. We went, we saw, we were impressed by the taxidermic skill and then we went to dinner. If you're into taxidermy and dioramas, head straight for this museum as it has them both in abundance.
