Electrical experiments with plants that count and communicate | Greg Gage
TED Talks Daily 
About this episode
<p>Neuroscientist Greg Gage takes sophisticated equipment used to study the brain out of graduate-level labs and brings them to middle- and high-school classrooms (and, sometimes, to the TED stage.) Prepare to be amazed as he hooks up the Mimosa pudica, a plant whose leaves close when touched, and the Venus flytrap to an EKG to show us how plants use electrical signals to convey information, prompt movement and even count.</p><p><br></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
