Is Language a Mechanical Signal? Cytoskeletal Responses to Speech in Yeast

2025-07-11

Abstract excerpt

What if vocal language were not only a medium for human communication but a vibrational force that leaves structural traces in living cells? This study explores how audible sound, particularly the structured elements of human speech, affects the cytoskeleton of Saccharomyces cerevisiae . Using a direct-contact acoustic system, we exposed yeast to distinct sound types: tonal vibrations, broadband noise, and conson...
