  • Ep. 176: Extracting Audio From A Digital Photograph + When A Scientist Investigated His Own 'Haunting'

    Host Jill ChaCha delves into two intriguing topics in this episode of "Well, That’s Interesting." The first half focuses on the groundbreaking research by Northeastern University, where a team developed a technique to extract audio from still digital photos using image stabilization technologies in smartphones. This technology, which utilizes the vibrations caused by sound waves to modify light angles in photos, could revolutionize fields like cybersecurity and legal evidence. The second part of the episode shifts to a spooky narrative from 1998, where scientist Vic Tandy investigates unusual occurrences in his laboratory, initially perceived as supernatural, but later identified as the effects of infrasound produced by a newly installed ventilation fan. These sound waves, imperceptible to human ears, were causing physical symptoms and illusions of a haunting.
