The most famous summer song did not interpret it, George Dan or King of Africa. And this is not a thing Quevedo or ana mena. The indisputable song of summer, which is also repeated the year after year, is Song of CicadasThus, the team of Japanese scientists thought that it might be interesting to change them sometimes an annoying pattern for something better known. Some classical music. Or, in fact, Baroque, since the song they have chosen for their experiments was Canon From Pachelbel.
By the way, since we are in terminological corrections, it should be noted that the cicadras do not sing, but to fight. Nevertheless, the authors of the study that was recently published, thought that such a sound can be used to convert cicadas into Biological speakersThey will act normally, but the electrodes will be used to choose how their famous creaks sound.
Logically, this was not developed for entertainment purposes. The long -term goal is not to use cicadas to listen to the last song by Bad Bunny. That seeking to use them In cases of emergency cases In which it is necessary to release a call for help or a prevention of any type at high distances, with high sound and without the need for electricity, outside the battery connected to the electrodes system. This is that these and other scientists want to turn insects into cyborgs.
Future full of Cyborg insects
At the moment, insects of cyborgs are only part Small laboratory experimentsThe field of some of them is nothing more than a simple evidence of the concept. However, scientists who have chosen them believe that in the future they can become something big.
The goal is to use the qualities that they already have, and give them support to electronic devices that, one way or another, can slightly change them. For example, this is what has already been done with cockroaches. Given its small size and their ability to survive quite inextricability, they managed to use them as Small navigation systems It would be very useful in search of survivors after the disaster.
It is also believed that cyborg insects can be useful for Transport facilities or moving nests In a safe place, among other functions. But what is intended to do with the cycades?
Cicadas are turned into an orchestra
Despite their small size, cicadas can reach sounds with a large volume, reaching the intensity Up to 120 decibelsThe field anyone who took a nap in the field on the summer day knows how strong the cicata can be heard. In addition, the mechanism that they use to obtain these sounds is known very well, so they are magnificent candidates who will be used as Biological speakers.
This sound consists mainly in vibration some muscles located in the stomach known as Tumbals Therefore, these scientists decided to place some electrodes in the stomach of cicades, similar to those used in people for Muscle tinting. In the end, the vibration of a muscle series is wanted with them.
Sounds, both from cicadas and the rest, are the result Vibrations that occur at different frequenciesThe frequency field, in turn, refers to the number of vibrations that occur in a second. If the frequency is low, a serious sound is obtained; So far, if it is high, we will have a spicy sound. Thus, modifying the vibrations of the blessed muscles, they could be obtained Different musical notes.
The time of the game comes
These scientists decided to conduct an experiment with Canon From Pachelbel For two reasons. On the one hand, because This is a very popular songThe field and, on the other hand, for its status of the canon. This is a musical composition in which two or more voices will intervene, which, as they say, are very roughThey imitate each other or give a replica with specific temporary intervals. If we listen Canon A melody sounds from Pachelbel on the violin, and shortly after the other enters a similar melody, but a little later. The song is not only called CanonBut this is also a canon.
This is very useful, because several cicadas can be used, singing different melodies. It was perfect to prove the concept. And they understood, go, if they received it. They also tested with the melody The best gunbut nothing like Canon From Pachelbel. In this video you can see it better.
Why do you need cyborg of cicada?
These scientists believe that cyborgs of cicada can serve to send messages about help in Remote placesThe field also, for example, is a concrete melody or a series Morza Pulse code They indicated that the person is safe after the disaster.
The options are endless, and most importantly, there is no harm to this cicada. In fact, after the experiment They continued to fly normally. You just need to connect to the electrodes to send a message. Then they can continue their lives as completely normal insects.
All this is exciting, and the best that he does not leave the chapter Black mirrorThis field can be completely reality in the future.
