Now that the Hamsters are in sync, most of the time anyway, people like to come into the lab and watch them. For the present, a sine wave is being fed into the Hamsters. They send the data to a PC which then displays the sine waves from each Rodent together in a scrolling window. It's not very exciting, but the draw of movement and light is irresistible, like some sort of millennial data hearth. I have a lot of conversations that begin with "How 'bout them Hamsters?" and segue into lab gossip. I suppose I'll have to break them again if I want to get anything done.
