Physarum polycephalumis considered to be promising for the realization of unconventional computational systems. In this work, we present results of three slime mould-based systems. We have demonstrated the possibility of transporting biocompatible microparticles using attractors, repellents and a DEFLECTOR. The latter is an external tool that enables to conductPhysarummotion. We also present interactions between slime mould and conducting polymers, resulting in a variation of their colour and conductivity. Finally, incorporation of thePhysaruminto the organic memristive device resulted in a variation of its electrical characteristics due to the slime mould internal activity. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
