Plant Bioelectric Circadian Recordings from Phänomena 2026 Installation

135.4 MB of bioelectric recordings from three sensor stations monitoring Primula vulgaris plants under different visitor stimuli. Peter Gloor collected the data over 42 days in March–April 2026 for the "Stille Signale" installation in Dietikon, Switzerland. The bundle includes raw audio files, derived features, and analysis code.

Use Cases

• Analyze circadian patterns in plant bioelectric signals based on the 42-day recording window.
• Compare plant responses to different visitor stimuli (light, sound, emotion) based on the three independent sensor stations.
• Validate custom bioelectric sensor hardware performance based on the described ESP32 and AD8232 setup.
• Study the impact of artificial environmental conditions on plant physiology based on the described lighting and temperature schedule.

Strengths

• 42 days of continuous recordings provide a substantial time-series for circadian analysis.
• Three independent sensor stations with distinct stimulus modalities (lamp, sound, emotion) enable comparative studies.
• Includes derived features and the analysis code used to produce published results.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred from filenames and description.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Plants were replaced every 7–10 days, introducing potential discontinuities in the biological signal source.
