/Institute for Inconspicuous Languages: Reading Lips/ is an attempt to repeat this experiment the linguist and polyglot Mi Yu did with ficus trees (Ficus benjamina). The trees monitor the amount of water they take up through their roots by opening and closing the stomata that are found on their leaves. By implementing Pavlov conditioning, Mi Yu could teach the ficus basic signs for 'more', 'less' and 'stop' over a course of four years. The ficus would open its mouths and she would respond with a code of light. | /Institute for Inconspicuous Languages: Reading Lips/ is an attempt to repeat this experiment the linguist and polyglot Mi Yu did with ficus trees (Ficus benjamina).
