How are sounds (15 photos)

Scientist Mark Fischer decided to translate the songs of whales and dolphins, so long enchants many different scientists in the world of sound in the picture. With the help of visual bursts, he created a kaleidoscope of colors, which we suggest you look.




These pictures seem pretty simple uzorchikami, but in fact it is the visual representation of a song of whales and dolphins.

The sounds were recorded by American engineer Mark Fisher and translated into a visual image using a mathematical tool called a splash.



Mark worked for United States Navy, but now he writes underwater conversations between the whales and dolphins and translates these waves into art.



Mark then used a tool of mathematics called bursts, which create these intricate structures.



"On the spectrogram, you will see a spot just bored with multiple harmonics," - he says ...



"However, with splashes you see an unusual structure. With this sound something happened, although we are not sure. "



The effect is even more obvious when there is color and graphics, translated from rectangular to polar coordinates, forming a circular graph.

Recent studies show that the songs of humpback whales are different "local dialects" and contain complex grammar rules, showing a higher level of communication than previously thought.
