A group of sperm whales (Physeter macrocephalus) swims together in the Indian Ocean. For years, researchers with Project CETI have worked to decode the communication of the species. Tony Wu, Nature ...

You might’ve heard we’re trying to talk to whales. It sounds crazy, but it’s not so far-fetched, as in recent years we’ve been getting closer and closer to cracking the code of their remarkably ...

Project CETI is harnessing AI to understand the complex communication system of sperm whales. In a new study, the project's scientists used AI to decode thousands of sperm whale clicks. CETI founder ...

After poring over recordings from sperm whales in the Caribbean, UC Berkeley linguist GasperBegus had an unlikely breakthrough. According to a new study from Begus and his colleagues with Project CETI ...

MONTEREY >> Hundreds of feet beneath the ocean’s surface, the planet’s largest-toothed predator hunts for prey, which could include a giant squid or even a shark. Since the deep ocean is dark, the ...

What can we learn from the whales? It’s something that researchers at the CETI project (not to be confused with the SETI Institute) are working on in order to help drive awareness around language ...

Biologists now believe that the sperm whale’s massive head functions like a powerful telegraph machine, emitting pulses of sound in distinct patterns. At the front of the head are the spermaceti organ ...

Scientists are closer than ever to deciphering sperm whale communication. Their breakthroughs could open the door to expanded whale rights and even legal personhood. A pod of sperm whales swims off ...
