TED: electrical experiments with plants that count and communicate | Greg Gage

The video explores the concept of plant intelligence and movement, focusing on the Venus flytrap and Mimosa pudica. It discusses how plants use electrical signals similar to action potentials in animals to respond to stimuli. The Venus flytrap's ability to count and close its trap only when necessary is highlighted as an example of plant computation. The video concludes with an experiment demonstrating interspecies communication between plants using electrical signals.
