Interacting with Heart Cells

Caption

At the “Give Heart Cells a Beat” exhibit, a visitor's heart rate is sent as an electrical signal from handlebar sensors to a lab dish of living heart cells, located behind a window a few feet away. Soon, the cells begin pacing in beat with the visitor’s heart.
