Ups, I though if some dup is detected I would be warned before submitting. Will remove it.
Thanks!
Edit: Seems I can not remove it by myself :-(

#4I choose to imagine they’re API endpoints communicating lists of entities with similar data causing the patterns.

No worries - the previous entry is not front page, and I missed it. Glad I caught it the second time around.

#6HSV color scheme looks beautiful, but since it doesn't seem to have perceptually uniform color change we won't see it used in papers much :(
I think the rule for audio papers is linear change in color according to energy?
So this rep may lead us to hallucinate our conclusions?

#7For a moment I thought they would hypothesize that the patterns might be an actual “rendering” of what the birds were looking at, especially when I saw the 7th image which looks remarkably similar to a rodent.
Apparently I'm pretty far off, but just this idea of animals communicating images with sound waves was something I'd otherwise never have.

#8This is amazing. The GitHub repo has more information too, about how the common explanation of how our ears work (isolating sounds in an FFT-like-process) may be incorrect:
> Contrary to what you might think, our ears don't seem to rely on an FFT-like process to extract isolated frequencies. Instead, our ears detect periodic parts in the signal, although in most cases those periodic parts closely match the FFT frequencies. There is a simple experiment that proves this point:

Interesting train of thought.
Perhaps it's good to know that the x axis (from left to right) is temporal. So for someone/something to translate this to an image with some special sense would also necessitate some memory part.
With a big fantasy you could continue your hypothesis by comparing it to describing an object you see with words by telling the height of the outline from left to right.
