Good Vibrations - How Animals React To Vibrations

About the show

Our first foray into Zoology is a fascinating exploration of the way animals respond to environmental vibrations - both man made & natural. Vibrations along surfaces are an important information source for animals and humans alike. Many animals, for example insects, spiders and elephants, are highly sensitive to surface vibrations and can efficiently determine what generated the vibration and from where. Understanding how animals use this information source so effectively can help us design useful technologies that use vibrations along surfaces for information
