Sometimes, you want a device simply because of how freaking cool it looks, and today is one of those times. The Pocket Scion<\/a> seems to have fallen from the pages of a sci-fi novel, except its functionality is arguably even cooler. This cryptically-designed device responds to small changes in bioelectricity generated by natural organisms, like plants, fungi, or even your good self, then plays back the input as music through four built-in, synthesised instruments.<\/p>\n

Essentially, you attach two cable-connected sensors to your nearest living organism (please ask for consent first), plug in some headphones, and, like, chill out to the sonic vibes, man <\/em>(via The Verge<\/a>). <\/em>As demonstrated below by its co-creator, TikTok superstar Modern Biology<\/a>, who seems to have taken to wandering around the forest in their pyjamas with the device in hand.<\/p>\n
