View Full Version : Octoshock Fujisawas Sake Dec 30th, 2003, 11:04pm Oh, and here's another question: Sharks detect electrical impulses by way the the ampules of Lorenzini. Do cephs show any electrosensory capability? Sushi and Sake (the good Oni-Koroshi) John Steve O'Shea Dec 31st, 2003, 12:02am We'll get back to you on that one; not sure if magnetic field would give the same sort of response, but I'll place some magnets around the squid tank and see what happens ..... Jean Dec 31st, 2003, 07:24pm Didn't Budelman have some sort of theory about cephalopod electroreception?? J Fujisawas Sake Dec 31st, 2003, 08:13pm Jean, Who is that? John Steve O'Shea Jan 5th, 2004, 01:25am A sehkrit! John, I've actually got a Masters students starting in ~ 6 weeks looking at these Sepioteuthis squid. I'm sure I can get him to do a little bit of environmental manipulation to check out a few of your ideas/queries. Fire away right here and we'll see what experimental design we can establish to determine what they are/are not capable of doing. Cheers O Fujisawas Sake Jan 5th, 2004, 04:28pm Hmm.. Capital idea.... I'll see what I can some up with. My father in law is an engineer, and I think he can give me some low-voltage ideas. I'll send you some info by private e - John Jean Jan 5th, 2004, 06:36pm Jean, Who is that? John Bernd Budelmann does a lot of work with octopus sensory systems etc and nuerosystems too. I haven't got my ref list with me but I'll try and remember to look out some refs. J Fujisawas Sake Jan 5th, 2004, 06:39pm Jean, Thankee! I'll have to look up his work. Much appreciated... John |
