Abstract
Cetaceans show high cognitive abilities and strong social bonds. Acoustics are their primary modality for interacting with conspecifics and sensing the environment. We design and implement a system for acoustically interacting with cetaceans in the wild in which acoustic signals flow in both directions simultaneously (full-duplex), featuring digital echo-suppression. We tested the system in a pilot experiment in Arctic Norway, where killer whales and humpback whales cruise the waters. The full-duplex system allowed us to vocally interact with the underwater acoustic scene by being able to listen while producing sounds.
