  Slime mould P. polycephalum is a single cells visible by unaided eye. The
cells shows a wide spectrum of intelligent behaviour. By interpreting the
behaviour in terms of computation one can make a slime mould based computing
device. The Physarum computers are capable to solve a range of tasks of
computational geometry, optimisation and logic. Physarum computers designed so
far lack of localised inputs. Commonly used inputs --- illumination and
chemo-attractants and -repellents --- usually act on extended domains of the
slime mould's body. Aiming to design massive-parallel tactile inputs for slime
mould computers we analyse a temporal dynamic of P. polycephalum's electrical
response to tactile stimulation. In experimental laboratory studies we discover
how the Physarum responds to application and removal of a local mechanical
pressure with electrical potential impulses and changes in its electrical
potential oscillation patterns.
