This is another episode in our series on the great figures in developmental bioelectricity. We interview (~1 hour) Mustafa Djamgoz, who has made pivotal discoveries about the role of bioelectricity in the problem of cancer and its eventual solution. Mustafa's book: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17612801-beat-cancer Mustafa's papers: https://profiles.imperial.ac.uk/m.djamgoz/publications Mustafa and I are co-editors of the new journal Bioelectricity: https://home.liebertpub.com/publicat...
This episode explores how bioelectricity serves as a link between physics, biology, and cognition, highlighting its role in understanding complex biological processes.
The episode explores intrinsic motivation in biological, artificial, and hybrid systems, discussing how these systems develop self-driven behaviors and the implications for research and engineering.
Michael Levin discusses the concept of agential materials and explores how recognizing and communicating with these materials challenges traditional views of mind and agency.
Exploring the unseen forces of life, cognition, and emergence — with Professor Michael Levin. Conversations on morphogenesis, bioelectricity, synthetic biology, and the nature of intelligence.
