There’s definitely some variability to the readings due to experimental error. The highest readings come when I press the device directly against his throat, which he does not like.
I get better cooperation if he’s eating while I take the readings.
He also does not like the sound the detector makes, so I’ve disabled it, but that removes some of the fun (for me) during the data collection.
If I had a bunch of these detectors and placed them in each room then we could track his movements around the house based on sound alone. There are noticeable rises in detector activity when he merely enters the room.
[1] this is a lesson in experimental error. Stan jumped up on my lap at an opportune moment and was willing to rub his face against the detector, leading to the highest score to-date. Figuring out how to get consistent results is going to be a problem.
