This is a 30 minute talk on Hopfield networks solving propositional satisfiability problems, by N. Weber, W. Koch, O. Erdem, and T. Froese (from the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology in Japan), followed by a 30 minute discussion of potential applicability of this technique to linking the beliefs and preferences of an agent to a controller that can be used to implement them behaviorally.
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.
