Sounds Synthesis with Slime Mould of Physarum Polycephalum
This paper introduces a novel application of bionic engineering: a bionic musical instrument using Physarum polycephalum. Physarum polycephalum is a huge single cell with thousands of nuclei, which behaves like a giant amoeba. During its foraging behavior this plasmodium produces electrical activity corresponding to different physiological states. We developed a method to render sounds from suc...
متن کاملOn the role of the plasmodial cytoskeleton in facilitating intelligent behaviour in slime mould Physarum polycephalum
The plasmodium of slime mould Physarum polycephalum behaves as an amorphous reaction-diffusion computing substrate and is capable of apparently ‘intelligent’ behaviour. But how does intelligence emerge in an acellular organism? Through a range of laboratory experiments, we visualise the plasmodial cytoskeleton – a ubiquitous cellular protein scaffold whose functions are manifold and essential t...
متن کاملOn the Internalisation, Intraplasmodial Carriage and Excretion of Metallic Nanoparticles in the Slime Mould, Physarum Polycephalum
The plasmodium of Physarum polycephalum is a large single cell visible with the naked eye. When inoculated on a substrate with attractants and repellents the plasmodium develops optimal networks of protoplasmic tubes which span sites of attractants (i.e. nutrients) yet avoid domains with a high nutrient concentration. It should therefore be possible to program the plasmodium towards determinist...
متن کاملA genetic system controlling mitochondrial fusion in the slime mould, Physarum polycephalum.
We have identified two distinct mitochondrial phenotypes, namely, Mif+ (mitochondrial fusion) and Mif- (mitochondrial fusion-deficient), and have studied the genetic system that controls mitochondrial fusion in the slime mould, Physarum polycephalum. A mitochondrial plasmid of approximately 16 kbp was identified in all Mif+ plasmodial strains. This plasmid is apparently responsible for promotin...
متن کاملTowards slime mould chemical sensor: Mapping chemical inputs onto electrical potential dynamics of Physarum Polycephalum
Plasmodium of slime mould Physarum polycephalum is a large single celled organism visible unaided by the eye. This slime mould is capable of optimising the shape of its protoplasmic networks in spatial configurations of attractants and repellents. Such adaptive behaviour can be interpreted as computation. When exposed to attractants and repellents, Physarum changes patterns of its electrical ac...
