  This paper examines the modulation of proteinoid spiking frequency in
response to light. Proteinoids are proteins formed through thermal condensation
of amino acids and have been found to exhibit spiking behaviour in response to
various stimuli. It has been demonstrated that their properties can be
modulated by light, with the frequency of spikes changing in response to
varying light intensity and wavelength. This paper explores the underlying
mechanisms of this phenomenon, including how light affects the proteinoid's
structure and its effect on the spiking frequency. We also discuss the
potential implications of this modulation for future research and applications.
Our research findings suggest that light could be used as a tool to regulate
the spiking frequency of proteinoids, opening up a new range of possibilities
for unconventional computing research.
