Plants react dynamically to their environment. Changes in temperature, light, and much more trigger action potentials, which can be measured and used to infer information about a plants' surroundings. Following up on work from the pan-European Watchplant project, I worked on identifying temperature conditions given voltage readings from tomato plants, using various machine learning methods.
