Biological carrier wave signals

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the concept of transmitting carrier wave signals vocally. Participants explore the idea that vocal cords could be used for rudimentary modulation, such as amplitude or frequency modulation, to convey information, albeit at a low data rate compared to traditional communication methods. The conversation highlights that simple forms of data transmission, like Morse Code, can be achieved vocally. Additionally, references are made to monks chanting as an example of vocal modulation that aligns with the concept of transmitting emotive or thought-like data. The mention of the show "Dark Angel" introduces the idea of using sonic waves for communication, suggesting a connection to the original inquiry about vocal carrier waves.

hi yea umm

is there any research/thinking regarding carrier wave signals being transmited vocally?

Welcome to the PF. What do you mean by carrier wave in this context? A carrier wave would normally be modulated to transfer information / data. A person could certainly do rudimentary amplitude or frequency modulation using their vocal chords, but the datarate would be fairly low compared to other forms of verbal communication.

Do you have something in mind?
 
i have this mad idea that maybe you can transmit simple emotive/thought like data with mouth and vocal chords, tell me I'm mad.. (not natural language)

Sure you can. At the very least, you can speak in Morse Code. Kind of nerdy, but it is AM modulation of an audio carrier wave.

Have you seen the videos of the monks doing their chants? You might say they are doing some of what you are asking about:

anyone here watched that show Dark Angel where they had genetically modified people that use bat sonic waves to communicate for military purposes. Is this what you are talking about
