Megan [Margaret] Watts Hughes (12 February 1842 – 29 October 1907) was a Welsh singer, songwriter, scientist and philanthropist. Her name appears as Margaret, the equivalent of the Welsh name Megan, in several publications. She was recognised by certain sources as the first to experiment with and observe the phenomenon of visualizing resonating sound using a device she invented called an "eidophone". The device or instrument naturally-produced geometric patterns from the resonation of her human voice. As a result, she referred to images as "Voice-Figures." Her work eventually resulted in a 1904 book titled The Eidophone; Voice Figures: Geometrical and Natural Forms Produced by Vibrations of the Human Voice, penned by Margaret Watts Hughes. She demonstrated the instrument for the Royal Soci

  • Megan Watts Hughes (Dowlais, 12 de febrer de 1842 - 29 d'octubre de 1907) Megan [Margaret] Watts Hughes va ser una cantant, compositora, científica i filantropa gal·lesa. El seu nom apareix com Margaret, l'equivalent al nom gal·lès Megan, en diverses publicacions. Algunes fonts la van reconèixer com la primera a experimentar i observar el fenomen de la visualització de la ressonància del so mitjançant un dispositiu que va inventar i anomenar "eidòfon". Aquest artefacte o dispositiu genera patrons geomètrics naturals a partir de la ressonància de la veu humana. Com a resultat, es va referir a les imatges com a "figures de la veu". El seu treball va acabar donant lloc a un llibre de 1904 titulat The Eidophone; Voice Figures: Geometrical and Natural Forms Produced by Vibrations of the Human Voice, escrit per Margaret Watts Hughes. Va fer una demostració de l'instrument per a la Royal Society. (ca)
