Ha!
I promise I am not a bioacoustician, I just have an eclectic background.
This article covers an experiment that suggests plants may have a type of vision. It’s a good example of a tantalizing finding that demands to be explained.

As a follow up to comment on your posted article, it’s a very compelling summary. I wonder if the greatest obstacle to advancement of plant psychoacoustics is our lack of patience. Plants operate on a very different timescale and we are such hasty primates.
Yeah, it is true they are so slow. This is also an issue with fungal computers so far as I know. They are able to do some interesting calculations, just on at a very slow speed.
Nice! I’m actually the same, not at all a bioacoustician, just interested. This vine sounds crazy, I remember hearing about this, It’s amazing that these are not a popular house plant, it seems like people would love to have a vine that mimics.
Now that I think of it, there is a grass I’ve been around a bit called sleeping grass that closes up when you block off its light with your hand, it seems like that must be a vision thing in some sense.
By the way, the book that this article is taken from “The Sounds of Life” is really great.
