Back to electrickery, I have seen a video of a cat used as a microphone. ?
I was intrigued Chris, so I took to Google and found this article on Wikipedia about the Acoustic Kitty project used by the CIA to spy on foreign Embassies.
No, nothing like! I have to say that cats appeal to me and in an ideal world, we would not have 'vivisection'. However, I have no problem with the ethics of rearing a beast for the sole purpose of eating it (preferably Devon Red beef) and I accept that the consensus is that it is acceptable to use animals for experiments which lead to advances in medicine.
So that said, what I saw was a cat used as a microphone, or more specifically, an ear of an anaesthetised cat used as a microphone.
Why, you may ask, would anybody want to do that?
Well, the experiment showed that an ear (at least a mammalian ear) converts sound waves into electrical waves in the same way that an ordinary inanimate microphone does.
