To capture the electric potentials from the organism, I have to create a split petri dish with a small bridge between each slot to allow the electricity form the organism to flow, moreover, in this approach, I will be able to capture small differences in electric signals only from the organism, not the medium. | To capture the electric potentials from the organism, I have to create a split petri dish with a small bridge between each slot to allow the electricity form the organism to flow, moreover, in this approach, I will be able to capture small differences in electric signals only from the organism, not the medium. | ||

The selected organism is Physarum Polycephalum. It was cultivated on the aforementioned split petri dish. After many attempts, I found out that the most important factor is the timing, in that the slime mold needs around two days to cross the bridge. Longer than that then it will remain on its side. In contrast, earlier than that then it will not cross the bridge. | The selected organism is Physarum Polycephalum. It was cultivated on the aforementioned split petri dish.
