A cited history of dolphin-communication research, from echolocation studies and John Lilly to underwater interfaces and AI-assisted work.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-25 issue.

Field notes

The homepage builds its argument as a dated research timeline rather than as a conventional essay. Milestones include Arthur McBride’s 1947 echolocation observations, John Lilly’s 1955 cognition program, the Wild Dolphin Project’s 1985 founding, and a 2011 CHAT interface using two hydrophones and an underwater speaker. External links point to papers, institutional pages, books, and project sites, allowing readers to follow the cited record beyond the homepage.
