Hi Bill,
I've heard something similar, except the experimenter actually
snipped pieces from a leaf, or subjected the plant to electrical
shock from a high voltage spark coil.
To nobody's surprise, the plant reacts.
However, you need to know how a lie detector works. It is basically
an ohmmeter that works at DC. By applying a known voltage across a
resistance, and measuring the current, one can calculate the
resistance by Ohms law:
R = E / I
where
R = resistance
E = voltage
I = current
Ordinary DVM's apply a constant current and measure the voltage
across the resistance. The formula is
E = I * R
Variations on this technique use a Wheatstone Bridge to measure
small variations in a large resistance.
However, all these are DC voltages and currents, and the plant is
not emitting any signal. Only the resistance changes, and this
requires an external voltage or current source to detect.
The plant is not emitting a signal at 50MHz or so as Tainio claims.
And I doubt it responded to menacing looks:)
Best Wishes,
Mike Monett
