When Cleve Backster — interrogation specialist for the CIA and a purveyor of the polygraph — hooked his lie detector machine to a dracaena plant in , he made a curious discovery: plants could sense things. After trying to measure the rate at which liquid rose in his dracaena, he thought that burning one of its leaves might induce another reaction altogether. But the dracaena began to “react” before he could even attempt it, sending the polygraph into a chart reading of high intensity (anxiety, as it’d be interpreted in a human subject) — it seemed the plant knew he’d intended to hurt it. Backster concluded that plants had “primary perception,” an ability to perceive what the bodies closest to them were feeling. They were, in a word, conscious.
During a small lecture at a private residence in Delray Beach earlier this month, I watched a houseplant play music, unabashedly and beautifully. Potted and still, it was hooked up to a MIDI machine via electrodes, its bio-emissions creatin

KGB and CIA
()You have written and lectured about serial killers, secret societies, cults and intelligence agencies. So we can basically begin at any of these fascinating topics, but let&#;s begin with intelligence agencies. Which has been the most powerful intelligence agency in history?

Music from Plant Biosignals: A Conceptual and Analytical Orientation
1. Introduction
[] The practice of using plant bioelectric signals in sound installations and musical art has exploded in recent years. Its interdisciplinary nature has made analysis challenging because “plant music” lies at an intersection of music theory, biology, electrical engineering, computer music, aesthetics, and metaphysics. In this paper we examine the practice—which we term “electronic plant music” (EPM) and “electronic plant sound” (EPS)—from a holistic, semiotic perspective. We understand EPM and EPS to mean music or sound art whose macro- or microstructure is related to, or in some way generated by, plant-derived bioelectric signals.(1) We describe how bioelectric signals arise in plants, show how they are typically acquired and processed, and analyze several large biodata samples in a way that sheds light on creative processes. We then analyze three significant EPM/S projects by Augustine L
