Electric Plant Reads Tree Signals to Detect Thirst and Stress
Press Space to continue
Electric Plant CEO @justinmast reveals how his team built a Neuralink for trees that can detect when plants are thirsty or stressed by reading their electrical signals: "Us and a very few other people in the world are recording these signals, and we’re training models to see things deep inside the physiology of the plant." "With this first model release, we can see the photosystem efficiency, how well is the plant turning sunlight into sugar, in real time. We can see if the plant’s thirsty,…

1/ Today we’re unveiling Bombadil, @electricplantco's foundation model that reads the electrical signals of living plants and turns them into a continuous view of their physiology. Trained on 7M+ hours of plant electrical signal across 125+ species. That makes Bombadil the most species-diverse model of directly recorded electrical biosignals in existence. The animal equivalent would be one model that reads the brainwaves of blue whales, horseshoe crabs and fruit flies.
