This video is mind-blowingly wonderful!
The marine biologists at Wood Hole Oceanographic Institution hooked an iPod up to a squid, using a clever audio to small electrical impulse convertor. The impulses stimulate the squid’s Chromatophores cells (which are used to reflect light).
They then played ‘Insane in the Brain’ by Cypress Hill and below is what happened!

You can find out more what’s happening and how they did it on the Backyard Brains blog, on Colossal Magazine and on the site for the Wood Hole Institute.
I want to see some squid dub-step!!!
Speak your mind...
