   * two trials of plant consciousness interface with computer (puredata) generated signal. In both cases the means of generation of the signal was identical (white noise modulating sine wave of 8 Hz), and the same signal was applied to both coils. the first trial (MH) with coils attached in proximity to occipital lobes, the second trial (NG) with coils close to temporal lobes. in both cases, no effects could be discerned other than those attributable to concentrated self observation.    * two trials of plant consciousness interface with computer (puredata) generated signal.

   * NG suggests further trials with improved signal generation: randomly shifting frequency of carrier within parameters alongside noise modulation so we have a differing signal applied to each coil. patch modified for this purpose.    * NG suggests further trials with improved signal generation: randomly shifting frequency of carrier within parameters alongside noise modulation so we have a differing signal applied to each coil. patch modified for this purpose.

 +  * further tests of modulated noise source to drive each coil separately. initial tests produced slight, somewhat uncomfortable conditions in subject (e.g. "like a toothache, but lower")
 +  * surface elctrodes for measuring signal propogation in trees. copper wire, gold coated thread, ultrasound transmission gel. mounted at sequent petioles.
 +  * recording of signals - differential amplification, 1x, 50x. credible results, quite noisy, electrode problems, change in either contact or electrochemical contact. strange enveloping observed. observed ~10 min signals may be VP propagation or experimental error.
