On the role of the plasmodial cytoskeleton in facilitating intelligent behavior in slime mold physarum polycephalum (2015)
Journal Article

© Richard Mayne, Andrew Adamatzky, and Jeff Jones. The plasmodium of slime mold Physarum polycephalum behaves as an amorphous reaction-diffusion computing substrate and is capable of apparently ‘intelligent’ behavior. But how does intelligence emerge... Read More about On the role of the plasmodial cytoskeleton in facilitating intelligent behavior in slime mold physarum polycephalum.

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...

The Physarum polycephalum actin network: Formalisation, topology and morphological correlates with computational ability (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The plasmodial form of slime mould Physarum polycephalum is a macroscopic acellular organism that is capable of apparently intelligent behaviour, yet it lacks any features usually associated with intelligence. In this investigation, we study the morp... Read More about The Physarum polycephalum actin network: Formalisation, topology and morphological correlates with computational ability.

A Biologically Inspired Optimization Algorithm for Solving Fuzzy Shortest Path Problems with Mixed Fuzzy Arc Lengths (2014)
Journal Article

© 2014, Springer Science+Business Media New York. The shortest path problem is among fundamental problems of network optimization. Majority of the optimization algorithms assume that weights of data graph’s edges are pre-determined real numbers. Howe...

Route 20, autobahn 7, and slime mold: Approximating the longest roads in usa and germany with slime mold on 3-d terrains (2014)
Journal Article

A cellular slime mould Physarum polycephalum is a monstrously large single cell visible by an unaided eye. The slime mold explores space in parallel, is guided by gradients of chemoattractants, and propagates toward sources of nutrients along nearly...

Towards plant wires (2014)
Journal Article

In experimental laboratory studies we evaluate a possibility of making electrical wires from living plants. In scoping experiments we use lettuce seedlings as a prototype model of a plant wire. We approximate an electrical potential transfer function... Read More about Towards plant wires.
