Abstract

Physarum polycephalum has been shown to be a biological computer, capable of solving problems through morphological computation. We present laboratory experiments where Physarum was investigated as a component of electronic or wet-ware computers. We find that \(I-T\) electronic signals consistent in time-scale with shuttle transport can be recorded with a sensitive Keithley electrometer. The memristor is a novel non-linear stateful resistor with great promise in neuromorphic computing. We demonstrate that Physarum gives \(I-V\) curves consistent with a memristor and that this response is located in the living cytosol part of the organism (as opposed to the gel outer-body or slime layer). We model the Physarum as an active memristor (a memristor combined with a battery), where the living Physarum metabolism provides energy.
