## Abstract (arXiv)

This paper describes three experiments measuring interaction of humans with garden plants. In particular, body movement of a human conducting eurythmic dances near the plants (beetroots, tomatoes, lettuce) is correlated with the action potential measured by a plant SpikerBox, a device measuring the electrical activity of plants, and the leaf movement of the plant, tracked with a camera. The first experiment shows that our measurement system captures external stimuli identically for different plants, validating the measurement system. The second experiment illustrates that the plants' response is correlated to the movements of the dancer. The third experiment indicates that plants that have been exposed for multiple weeks to eurythmic dancing might respond differently to plants which are exposed for the first time to eurythmic dancing.
