Phys. Rev. Lett. 85, 2026–2029 (2000)Time Delay Effect in a Living Coupled Oscillator System with the Plasmodium of Physarum polycephalumReceived 16 November 1999; published in the issue dated 28 August 2000 A living coupled oscillator system was constructed by a cell patterning method with a plasmodial slime mold, in which parameters such as coupling strength and distance between the oscillators can be systematically controlled. Rich oscillation phenomena between the two-coupled oscillators, namely, desynchronizing and antiphase/in-phase synchronization were observed according to these parameters. Both experimental and theoretical approaches showed that these phenomena are closely related to the time delay effect in interactions between the oscillators. © 2000 The American Physical Society URL:
