Observation of Autonomous Behavioral Selection in Physarum Plasmodium

Abstract The plasmodium of Physarum polycephalum is a unicellular and multinuclear giant amoeba with computational abilities. has been widely used as model organism in the field bio-computing; however, its ability to perform computation related biological nature itself essential sense not yet fully realized. Therefore, this study, we focused on phenomenon which trapped closed space surrounded by repellent substances escapes from changing own behavior rules. We demonstrated that bio-computationally important it may enable implementation characteristics computing.
