project notes MH:
- bioluminscent communication vector: dark goggles with mycelium contained, some way of amplifying photon events
- earth/plant/fungi resistance, impedance or potential measurement: differential amp(ad620,ca3140), ad5933 with usb, bridge and transistor. electrodes/plant connection? (we also have 1x geophys earth measure device and one generic diff amp(test with plants))
mention in one paper of thin silver wire attached with a glue of honey/potassium chloride mix. also nik mentioned action potential measurement techniques.
- plant consciousness interface (coil/amp of which measured signals?)
“Two differential amplifiers (AD620 measuring plant microvoltage fluctuations) - where on the plant? Also with GND reference a la EEG, further amplified by IRF640 driving coils placed experimentally on occipital lobes. [An alternative would entail microvoltages driving (adjustable) VCO before coils.]”
simplest magnetic coil amp for interface tested (arriving at 1k series resistor with 15v supply giving around 10-20 milligauss at 3cm distance in parallel) will probably use 9v battery but remains approx same region…
potential sources for amplification: earthboot (but then we have computer), differential amp (ad620-TODO or ca3140), resistance bridge with transistor), also VCO of any…
- sonification (analogue VCO (741) or simple software)
