On exploration of geometrically constrained space by medicinal leeches Hirudo verbana (2015)
Journal Article

© 2015 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. Leeches are fascinating creatures: they have simple modular nervous circuitry yet exhibit a rich spectrum of behavioural modes. Leeches could be ideal blue-prints for designing flexible soft robots which are modular, mult...

Slime mould memristors (2015)
Journal Article

In laboratory experiments we demonstrate that protoplasmic tubes of acellular slime mould \emph{Physarum polycephalum} show current versus voltage profiles consistent with memristive systems and that the effect is due to the living protoplasm of the... Read More about Slime mould memristors.

Towards a slime Mould-FPGA interface (2015)
Journal Article

© 2015, Korean Society of Medical and Biological Engineering and Springer. Purpose: The plasmodium of slime mouldPhysarum polycephalum: is a multinucleate single celled organism which behaves as a living amorphous unconventional computing substrate....

Actin quantum automata: Communication and computation in molecular networks (2015)
Journal Article

© 2015 Elsevier Ltd. Actin is filament-forming protein forming a communication and information processing cytoskeletal network of eukaryotic cells. Actin filaments play a key role in developing synaptic structure, memory and leaning of animals and hu... Read More about Actin quantum automata: Communication and computation in molecular networks.

Transfer function of protoplasmic tubes of Physarum polycephalum (2015)
Journal Article

© 2015. The slime mould Physarum polycephalum is a large single celled myxomycete; its plasmodium consists of tubes which extend to find sources of food. It has been previously shown that the tubes are conductive with a resistance of approximately 3.... Read More about Transfer function of protoplasmic tubes of Physarum polycephalum.

On using compressibility to detect when slime mould completed computation (2015)
Journal Article

© 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Slime mould Physarum polycephalum is a single cell visible by an unaided eye. The slime mould optimizes its network of protoplasmic tubes in gradients of attractants and repellents. This behavior is interpreted as compu...

Twenty five uses of slime mould in electronics and computing: Survey (2015)
Journal Article

Slime mould Physarum polycephalum is a large single cell capable for distributed sensing, concurrent information processing, parallel computation and decentralised actuation. The ease of culturing and experimenting with Physarum makes this slime moul... Read More about Twenty five uses of slime mould in electronics and computing: Survey.

Approximation of statistical analysis and estimation by morphological adaptation in a model of slime mould (2015)
Journal Article

True slime mould Physarum polycephalum approximates a range of complex computations via growth and adaptation of its protoplasmic transport network, stimulating a large body of recent research into how such a simple organism can perform such complex...

On the dynamics of cellular automata with memory (2015)
Journal Article

Elementary cellular automata (ECA) are linear arrays of finite-state machines (cells) which take binary states, and update their states simultaneously depending on states of their closest neighbours. We design and study ECA with memory (ECAM), where... Read More about On the dynamics of cellular automata with memory.

Slime mould foraging behaviour as optically coupled logical operations (2015)
Journal Article

© 2015 Taylor & Francis. Physarum polycephalum is a macroscopic plasmodial slime mould whose apparently 'intelligent' behaviour patterns may be interpreted as computation. We employ plasmodial phototactic responses to construct laboratory prototype... Read More about Slime mould foraging behaviour as optically coupled logical operations.
