==Experiment==

The result of an experiment with Physarum Polycephalum and electricity has shown that it is not only a good conductor, but does produce a very small voltage during its growth. The voltage again is oscillating in the pattern of the plasma flow of the organism. The produced voltage and its resulting oscillation needs to be amplified to be able to be used, then send to an Arduino, where the frequency is calculated. Eventually, the signal is send through Serial into Processing, where the frequency is converted to an auditive frequency that can be played on a speaker and a graph that is shown on a screen. At the end, with an exciter speaker, the audio is fed back to the slime mold, to stimulate it. Like a feedback loop, or a self stimulation it interacts with itself and immediately giving the signal back to the computer.
