Abstract: Abstract This study explores the potential effects of eurythmic gestures on plant physiology by measuring electrical potentials in selected plant species (lettuce, basil, tomatoes). Using custom-developed hardware and machine learning techniques, we conducted experiments with three plant groups (control, single treatment, and regular treatment) to detect distinct physiological responses to eurythmic gestures. Initial findings indicate that human gestures may influence plant responses, highlighting the potential of AI-assisted analysis for novel biological research.
