Every time a living being contracts a muscle, beats their heart, or fires a neuron in their brain, it creates a tiny pulse of electricity. Water—especially saltwater—is an exceptional conductor, meaning these pulses radiate outward into the ocean.To read these signals, rays have a highly specialized network of sensory organs called the Ampullae of Lorenzini.
