Journal Article
Jones, B. A., Chouard, J. L., Branco, B. C., Vissol-Gaudin, E. G., Pearson, C., Petty, M. C., …Groves, C. (2022). Towards Intelligently Designed Evolvable Processors. Evolutionary Computation, 30(4), 479-501. https://doi.org/10.1162/evco_a_00309

Evolution-in-Materio is a computational paradigm in which an algorithm reconfigures a material’s properties to achieve a specific computational function. This paper addresses the question of how successful and well performing Evolution-in-Materio pro... Read More about Towards Intelligently Designed Evolvable Processors.

Electrical behaviour and evolutionary computation in thin films of bovine brain microtubules (2021)
Journal Article
Vissol-Gaudin, E., Pearson, C., Groves, C., Zeze, D. A., Cantiello, H. F., Cantero, M. D. R., & Petty, M. C. (2021). Electrical behaviour and evolutionary computation in thin films of bovine brain microtubules. Scientific Reports, 11, Article 10776. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-021-90260-0

We report on the electrical behaviour of thin films of bovine brain microtubules (MTs). For samples in both their dried and hydrated states, the measured currents reveal a power law dependence on the applied DC voltage. We attribute this to the injec...
