A multidirectional modified Physarum solver for discrete decision making [PDF]
, 2012 In this paper, a bio-inspired algorithm able to incrementally grow decision graphs in multiple directions is presented. The heuristic draws inspiration from the behaviour of the slime mould Physarum Polycephalum.

On attraction of slime mould Physarum polycephalum to plants with sedative properties [PDF]
, 2011 A plasmodium of acellular slime mould Physarum polycephalum is a large single cell with many nuclei. Presented to a configuration of attracting and repelling stimuli a plasmodium optimizes its growth pattern and spans the attractants, while avoiding ...

A Rough Set Version of the Go Game on Physarum Machines
EAI Endorsed Transactions on Scalable Information Systems, 2016 We make use of a Physarum machine that is a biological computing device implemented in the plasmodium of Physarum polycephalum and/or Badhamia utricularis which are one-cell organisms able to build complex networks for solving different computational ...

The role of noise in self-organized decision making by the true slime mold Physarum polycephalum. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Self-organized mechanisms are frequently encountered in nature and known to achieve flexible, adaptive control and decision-making. Noise plays a crucial role in such systems: It can enable a self-organized system to reliably adapt to short-term changes ...

Kanizsa illusory contours appearing in the plasmodium pattern of <i>Physarumpolycephalum</i>
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2014 The plasmodium of Physarum polycephalum is often used in the implementation of non-linear computation to solve optimization problems, and this organismal feature was not used in this analysis to compute perception and/or sensation in humans.

BioComputer Music: Generating Musical Responses with Physarum polycephalum-Based Memristors [PDF]
, 2016 This paper introduces BioComputer Music, an experimental one piano duet between pianist and plasmodial slime mould Physarum polycephalum. This piece harnesses a system we have been developing, which we call BioComputer.

Stepwise slime mould growth as a template for urban design
Scientific Reports, 2022 The true slime mould, Physarum polycephalum, develops as a vascular network of protoplasm, connecting node-like sources of food in an effort to solve multi-objective transport problems.

A survey on physarum polycephalum intelligent foraging behaviour and bio-inspired applications [PDF]
, 2023 In recent years, research on Physarum polycephalum has become more popular after Nakagaki (AIR 407: 6803-470, 2000) performed their famous experiment showing that Physarum was able to find the shortest route through a maze.

Slime Mould Games Based on Rough Set Theory
International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science, 2018 We define games on the medium of plasmodia of slime mould, unicellular organisms that look like giant amoebae. The plasmodia try to occupy all the food pieces they can detect. Thus, two different plasmodia can compete with each other.
