"Collective intelligence of the body: the multiscale architecture of Selves" by Michael Levin
Michael Levin explores how collective intelligence across cells and tissues shapes the multiscale human, examining bioelectric control, morphological computation, biomedical applications, and implications for evolution, health, and selfhood.
Michael Levin's talks
"Self-constructing bodies, collective minds: the intersection of CS, cognitive bio, and philosophy"
Michael Levin explores how self-constructing biological systems compute, contrasting them with conventional computer architectures and proposing a new view of morphogenesis, multi-scale selves, and the emergence of cognition in both living organisms and AI.
