He reported on the influence of electromagnetic fields on plants and developed instruments for observing the growth of plants.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In 1966 the lie detector specialist Cleve Backster connected a polygraph to a plant to see what would happen. He watered the plant and touched a leaf, but the plant did not show any response. Then he wanted to singe a leaf with a lit match. But as he reported, when he held the match in his hand and was just about strike it, the polygraph went wild. After that he dedicated his life to plants, and in 2003 he published the book Biocommunication with Plants, Living Foods, and Human Cells.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.floranium.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/cleveBacksterMatchMeasurment.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-397 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.floranium.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/cleveBacksterMatchMeasurment.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"658\" height=\"407\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.floranium.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/cleveBacksterMatchMeasurment.jpg 748w, https:\/\/www.floranium.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/cleveBacksterMatchMeasurment-300x186.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 658px) 100vw, 658px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-393\" src=\"https:\/\/www.floranium.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/backster4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.floranium.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/backster4.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.floranium.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/backster4-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.floranium.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/backster4-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Watch the original Movie: The Secret Life of Plants:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Secret Life of Plants   Hi res\" width=\"840\" height=\"630\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/kTWcVnMPChM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Today the responses of plants to external influences are being investigated and studied by numerous projects, researchers and scientists. One example is the EU-funded project PLEASED, led by Andrea Vitaletti at the University of Rome. Now plants are changing the color of light (Floranium) or making music (Damanhur). Slowly, it is officially recognized, that plants much are more than just bio-physiologic organism.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Mythbusters - Plants have feelings, primary perception\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/kWWlgiVEr1k?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Who&#039;s Speaking?
