I met Dr. John C. Lilly in 1979 at a workshop in Pasadena. He was just putting together the Project JANUS lab, in a GMC stepvan. Above is a view of the hardware used Joint Analog Numerical Understanding System. Equipment included amplifiers, tape recorders, custom signal analyzer, tone generator, Apple II and Digital Equipment PDP 11/04 computers.


This is what Joe and Rosalie looked like when they were first captured.

Team: Dr. John Lilly, Toni Lilly, Barbara Clarke, John Kert, Tom Fitz, Jennifer Yankee, Ed Ellsworth, Martha Spence and others.

Goal: Forty whistle word vocabulary was accomplished.

Learned: Digitized human speech similar to dolphin ultrasound.

The JANUS software emulated dolphin whistles. It was easier for us to hear these lower-range acoustics. The dolphin communication that occurs in ultrasound (up to 200 KHz) is too high for us to perceive. The JANUS whistles named movements and objects in the dolphins environment. Joe go through the channel.
