  The Phychip project is a collaborative European research initiative to design
and implement computation using the organism Physarum polycephalum; it is
funded by the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) by the European Commission
within CORDIS and the FET Proactive scheme. Included in this presentation are
details the development of a Physarum based biosensor and biological logic
gate, offering significant advancements in the respective fields. The work
demonstrates the first steps towards Physarum computation and practical
Physarum Biosensor; subsequent work will focus on development of a hybrid
electronic-Physarum device capable of implementing computation.
