Electrical activity of fungi: Spikes detection and complexity analysis
Oyster fungi \emph{Pleurotus djamor} generate actin potential like spikes of electrical potential. The trains of spikes might manifest propagation of growing mycelium in a substrate, transportation of nutrients and metabolites and communication processes in the mycelium network. The spiking activity of the mycelium networks is highly variable compared to neural activity and therefore can not be analysed by standard tools from neuroscience. We propose original techniques for detecting and classifying the spiking activity of fungi. Using these techniques, we analyse the information-theoretic complexity of the fungal electrical activity. The results can pave ways for future research on sensorial fusion and decision making of fungi.

Electrical activity of fungus \emph{Pleurotus ostreatus} is characterised by slow (hours) irregular waves of baseline potential drift and fast (minutes) action potential likes spikes of the electrical potential. An expos…
Automated detection of Zika and dengue in Aedes aegypti using neural spiking analysis
Mosquito-borne diseases present considerable risks to the health of both animals and humans. Aedes aegypti mosquitoes are the primary vectors for numerous medically important viruses such as dengue, Zika, yellow fever, a…
Dimensionality ReductionFeature ImportanceMolecular detection and antimicrobial activity of Endophytic fungi isolated from a medical plant Rosmarinus officinalis
Endophytes are tiny organisms present in living tissues of distinct plants and have been extensively studied for their endophytic microbial complement. Roots of Rosmarinus officinalis were subjected to the isolation of e…
Efficient Tree Solver for Hines Matrices on the GPU
The human brain consists of a large number of interconnected neurons communicating via exchange of electrical spikes. Simulations play an important role in better understanding electrical activity in the brain and offers…
