Insane in the Chromatophores

http://www.facebook.com/BackyardBrains

During experiments on the axons of the Woods Hole squid (loligo pealei), we tested our cockroach leg stimulus protocol (an iPod) on the squid's chromatophores. The results were both interesting and beautiful.

More details can be found here: http://news.backyardbrains.com/2012/0... and an explanation of how it works can be found on our TED talk: http://on.ted.com/Gage

For our friends in Germany, we uploaded to Vimeo as well https://vimeo.com/48183535

Again for the amount of biodiversity there is it should not be a problem. You mention dinosaurs, if extinction theories are correct it automatically invalidates your comment. Again " mutations are random" no they are not, if that were true evolution would occur at a much faster rate because most mutations are recessive traits. Your argument shows you are an absolute idiot, humans did not come from monkeys. The only thing that comes close to a monkey in the hominoid family is a Barbary macaque.

I would love to see this experiment with music from Bach. if JSBs "canon" patterns in his music will erupt the chromatophores in its tonal pattern. great footage
