4. Music and AI help us understand the language of spiders
MIT engineer Markus Bühler is investigating the sounds that spider webs can produce, and how this enables the earless insects to communicate. With his team and an artificial intelligence software program, they have created an algorithm that qualifies the different activities of spiders according to the frequencies of their webs, and are looking for a way tocontact with them.
