We investigate the information processing capacities of kombucha-proteinoid proto-brains, focusing on the transducing properties through accommodation spiking, tonic bursting spiking, and optical and acoustic stimulation. We explore self-organization, adaptability, and emergent phenomena in this unconventional proto-architecture. By constructing kombucha-proteinoid networks exposed to diverse audio stimuli, we analyze nonlinear dynamics using time series analysis. Assessing information representation in the presence of extreme noise, we examine the system's resilience. Our results illustrate intricate pathways resulting from the interplay between the synthetic biological substrate and bio-inspired stimulation. The kombucha-proteinoid proto-brains consistently map complex stimuli to distinct activation levels, showcasing their adaptability and potential for information processing without the need for external shaping circuits.
