The name "Stereo Bugscope" refers to a performance system that detects oscillating sounds emitted by the circuitry of electronic devices. It also signifies the act of listening to the electromagnetic world that emerges from the inside of devices such as computers, cell phones, MD players, and wireless routers through the use of two inductive microphones (pickups). The oscillating-circuit sounds come from the IC board and clock, and the electromagnetic noise comes from the electrical current that turns the fan and drives the motor. Waveforms similar to the audio frequencies of electromagnetic leakage, which is faintly emitted from machines, are also released by the inductive coil in a pickup. The sound is then electronically amplified to magnify these signals which are ordinarily so faint as to be inaudible. According to one's position in relation to and distance from the source, changes in the sound can be observed. 

ステレオ・バグスコープ｣は、電子機器内部における回路上の動作発振音を検出するシステム。二つの誘導性マイクロフォン（ピックアップ）を用いて機器回路から発生した電磁界を覗く。 コンピュータ、携帯電話、デジタル・プレーヤー、無線ルータなどの基盤上のIC、クロック、ファン、モーター駆動などによる電磁ノイズを拾う。 機器からかすかに磁気漏れした音声周波数の信号と同様の波形が、ピックアップの誘導コイル内にも発生し、それを電気的に増幅している。これらは通常、不可聴な微弱信号である。発生源との位置、距離の関係により音の変化が観察できる。
