Do plants have memory? Let's test it!

In this video, I challenge our intuition and ask if plants have memory and the ability to learn. By using the shy plant, Mimosa pudica, with their known remarkable animal-like leaf contraction, I am able to test this. I document a few experiments to test various forms of learning from the most basic types to more complex ones, even testing rudementary math skills in these plants! A lot of these experiments have been conducted in very similar ways in more serious and controlled environments... Here is a small bibliography with relevant literature on the subject in case you want to learn more about it!
