Scientists at Georgia Tech in Atlanta are trying to set the movements of fish and ants to music. If they’re successful, the results could help both humans and animals live richer lives. (Dec. 17)

GREAT!
It would be like gradually killing off each musician in an orchestra
“May I have that tasty looking violinist, please”. Macabre!
However, I’m dubious about Bruce Walker’s other proposed applications; as plausible as they are, perhaps he is suggesting this technology has broader appeal to justify expense. We’ll just have to wait and see
I like the idea, and I imagine it would add a certain flare to the aquarium experience; if each breed of fish were assigned an instrument, you could hear if the whale sharks behind you were swimming quickly or slowly, whilst observing the puffer fish serenely bobbing along. If there was a key for visitors to see which instrument corresponded with which aquatic animal, it could make a visit that much more interesting.
Wow, this is amazing! I would love to sit and watch and listen to a tank at the same time.
This is cool! Some questions…
1 it’d be hard to post cameras like that in aquariums. How would they do that?
2 What happens when the fish go behind the reef? It seemed like one dropped out when doing so.
so awesome
If he puts that on Youtube he’s gonna get a million hits.
this is so cool! Is the public able to see this at the Aquarium there in Atlanta or is it still in testing phases? I’d pay to go see it!
thats good tech.
This would be really cool on a tank in a seafood restaurant lol.
This is fascinating…..and sounds cool as well.
Would be interesting if the fish learned they were creating the sounds and found a way to say ‘feed me’ in classical.
That’s amazingly cool.
