Transcriptomic changes arising during light-induced sporulation in
BMC Genomics, 2010 Background Physarum polycephalum is a free-living amoebozoan protist displaying a complex life cycle, including alternation between single- and multinucleate stages through sporulation, a simple form of cell differentiation.

Slime mould computes planar shapes [PDF]
, 2011 Computing a polygon defining a set of planar points is a classical problem of modern computational geometry. In laboratory experiments we demonstrate that a concave hull, a connected alpha-shape without holes, of a finite planar set is approximated by ...

Slime mould solves maze in one pass ... assisted by gradient of chemo-attractants
, 2011 Plasmodium of Physarum polycephalum is a large cell, visible by unaided eye, which exhibits sophisticated patterns of foraging behaviour. The plasmodium's behaviour is well interpreted in terms of computation, where data are spatially extended ...

Physarum Polycephalum Syllogistic L-Systems and Judaic Roots of Unconventional Computing
Studies in Logic, Grammar and Rhetoric, 2016 We show that in Kabbalah, the esoteric teaching of Judaism, there were developed ideas of unconventional automata in which operations over characters of the Hebrew alphabet can simulate all real processes producing appropriate strings in accordance with ...

Logical Modelling of Physarum Polycephalum
, 2011 We propose a novel model of unconventional computing where a structural part of computation is presented by dynamics of plasmodium of Physarum polycephalum, a large single cell. We sketch a new logical approach combining conventional logic with process calculus to demonstrate how to employ formal methods in design of unconventional computing media ...

Road planning with slime mould: If Physarum built motorways it would route M6/M74 through Newcastle
, 2009 Plasmodium of Physarum polycephalum is a single cell visible by unaided eye. During its foraging behaviour the cell spans spatially distributed sources of nutrients with a protoplasmic network.

PhysarumSpreader: A New Bio-Inspired Methodology for Identifying Influential Spreaders in Complex Networks. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Identifying influential spreaders in networks, which contributes to optimizing the use of available resources and efficient spreading of information, is of great theoretical significance and practical value.

Sounds synthesis with slime mould of Physarum Polycephalum [PDF]
Journal of Bionic Engineering, 2011 Physarum polycephalum is a huge single cell with thousands of nuclei, which behaves like a giant amoeba. During its foraging behaviour this plasmodium produces electrical activity corresponding to different physiological states. We developed a method to render sounds from such electrical activity and thus represent spatio-temporal behaviour of slime ...

Enactive Pragmatism and Ecological Psychology
Frontiers in Psychology, 2020 A widely cited roadblock to bridging ecological psychology and enactivism is that the former identifies with realism and the latter identifies with constructivism, which critics charge is subjectivist.

Vascular adaptation model from force balance: Physarum polycephalum as a case study
New Journal of Physics, 2023 Understanding vascular adaptation, namely what drives veins to shrink or grow, is key for the self-organization of flow networks and their optimization.
