We all know whales communicate with one another, but what if we could understand what they say, and communicate our own thoughts back to them?
That’s what marine scientists from the University of Haifa, and top universities across the world hope to do with a new five-year research study to decipher how Sperm whales communicate and whether their speech patterns can be replicated so humans can communicate with them.
The new interdisciplinary Cetacean Translation Initiative (CETI) kicks off this week at a press conference in Dominica in the Caribbean, where the project will take place.
University of Haifa scientists will be joined by colleagues in marine biology, marine acoustics, artificial intelligence, and linguistics from Harvard University, The City University of New York (CUNY), Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Imperial College London, U.C. Berkeley and others.
