Just how does the Giant Lobular Movement Detector work? Scientists are studying locust's response to predators by exposing them to episodes of Star Wars while wired to sensors. I'd be curious to find which parts of Star Wars the locusts find threatening: Wookie or the princess with those huge hair buns (lookout, a giant bugeyed mantis!), Jaba the Hut or a wanna be Jedi whiner (high frequency projectile moping).
comment?
