Abstract
Using living microbial cells in computational processing is a fascinating challenge to incorporate their autonomous adaptation and exploration abilities into a physical computing algorithm [1]. When the stimulus to the cells is given as analog values, more flexible solutions would be expected in microbe-based neurocomputing [1] owing to the diversity of reaction threshold among the cells. We have investigated the optical analog feedback in Euglena-based neurocomputing, for a task to select some from 16 compartments with avoiding the first and second nearest compartments [2].
