Musical odor responses in the honeybee AL

The following links lead to movies which represent the response in the antennal lobe of honeybees to different odors, measured with calcium imaging (bath-applied calcium-green AM dye). We assigned musical notes to individual glomeruli, so that the spatio-dynamic response is also transformed into a musical representation. Click on the link to see a single response (WARNING - the movies are quite large and may take some time to download if the connection is slow. The size is indicated for your convenience).

For each movie, we have included a 'play' button which opens the movie in an html frame, and a 'download' button, which is directly linked to the movie. How to download depends on your browser and operating system (right click, long click, ctrl-click, open and then select 'save as' are just a few of the possibilities).

This set of responses differs from "Movies I" in respect to the odors represented, and the notes and sounds associated with the glomeruli.
