This is the first of several interviews we will do with significant people in the history of developmental bioelectricity. Richard Nuccitelli is a legend, having invented (with Lionel Jaffe, in 1974) the Vibrating Probe - a technique that allowed the non-invasive sensing of ion currents around living tissues. This is about a ~1 hour conversation in which he talks about his background, the history of the field, and his current clinical work on the bioelectrics of cancer. Richard Nuccitelli: htt...
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.
