If Fungi Could Talk: Study Suggests Fungi Could Communicate in Structure Comparable to Humans
Posted by Shailesh Prasad in category: computing
Mushrooms could be communicating in a structure that resembles human language, suggests a study published in the Royal Society Open Science.
Professor Andrew Adamatzky analysed the electrical signals in fungi and found patterns that have a structural similarity to English and Swedish languages at the University of the West of England’s Unconventional Computing Laboratory. The hope is to better understand how information is transferred and processed in mycelium networks, and to one day create fungi-based computing devices.
