Routing Physarum with Electrical Flow/Current
Plasmodium stage of Physarum polycephalum behaves as a distributed dynamical pattern formation mechanism who’s foraging and migration is influenced by local stimuli from a wide range of attractants and repellents. Complex protoplasmic tube network structures are formed as a result, which serve as efficient `circuits' by which nutrients are distributed to all parts of the organism. We investigat...
متن کاملOn electrical correlates of Physarum polycephalum spatial activity: Can we see Physarum Machine in the dark?
Plasmodium of Physarum polycephalum is a single cell visible by unaided eye, which spans sources of nutrients with its protoplasmic network. In a very simple experimental setup we recorded electric potential of the propagating plasmodium. We discovered a complex interplay of short range oscillatory behaviour combined with long range, low frequency oscillations which serve to communicate informa...
متن کاملRouting of Physarum polycephalum “signals” using simple chemicals
In previous work the chemotaxis toward simple organic chemicals was assessed. We utilize the knowledge gained from these chemotactic assays to route Physarum polycephalum "signals" at a series of junctions. By applying chemical inputs at a simple T-junction we were able to reproducibly control the path taken by the plasmodium of P. Polycephalum. Where the chemoattractant farnesene was used at o...
متن کاملPhysarum
What is Physarum? Physarum, or more precisely Physarum polycephalum, is an acellular slime mold, or myxogastrid. Myxogastrids are closely related to the cellular slime molds, or dictyostelids, including the well known Dictyostelium discoideum. Physarum is more distantly related to the protostelids (together these groups are discussed as the eumycetozoans, or ‘true’ slime molds) and very distant...
متن کاملPractical circuits with Physarum Wires
Purpose Protoplasmic tubes of Physarum polycephalum, also know as Physarum Wires (PW), have been previously suggested as novel bioelectronic components. Until recently, practical examples of electronic circuits using PWs have been limited. These PWs have been shown to be self repairing, offering significant advantage over traditional electronic components. This article documents work performed ...
