    The signal to noise ratio problem is analogous to trying to pick out a specific voice in a crowded stadium. It’s too loud to be able to pick up one source.

    So the desert is like that, where there’s a lot of background electrical noise that’s louder than the electrical signals that a human heartbeat makes.
