Stuart Kauffman and Katherine Peil Kauffman join a one-hour discussion on emergent cognition, emotion and bioelectricity, bottom-up collective intelligence, and Kantian wholes. They relate these ideas to self-construction, information, and bioelectric selves.
Conversations and working meetings
Michael Levin presents a 30-minute overview of bioelectricity, cellular intelligence, and morphogenesis, discussing anatomical compilers, pattern memories, regeneration, cancer control, and xenobots as a path toward new biotechnologies and synthetic life forms.
Michael Levin's talks
Michael Levin discusses how bioelectric signals organize cellular collective intelligence and morphogenesis, implications for diverse forms of cognition, plant and AI goals, and applications to cancer and regenerative medicine.
Michael Levin's talks
Adam Omary talks with Roy Baumeister and Michael Levin about collective intelligence, self-organization, and how emergent group minds and multi-scale order may inform understanding of social and economic systems.
Conversations and working meetings
Michael Levin gives a 1-hour lecture on bioelectricity for parasitology and immunology researchers, covering anatomical goals and morphospace, bioelectric pattern control, regeneration, bioelectric medicine, and links between self, cancer, and bioelectricity.
Michael Levin's talks
Chris Fields, Richard Watson, and Mike Levin explore how gene regulatory networks store memory in trained yet static pathways and what this reveals about learning and mind-reading technologies. They discuss attractor dynamics, semantic ambiguity, embodiment, and limits of decoding internal states.
Conversations and working meetings
Michael Levin presents bioelectricity as the software of life, describing how cell networks store anatomical memories, guide regeneration, influence cancer, and enable technologies like xenobots, with implications for intelligence, morphogenesis, and ethics.
Michael Levin's talks
In this lecture, Michael Levin explores how bioelectric signals coordinate cellular swarms and contribute to collective intelligence beyond traditional neuron-based neuroscience.
Michael Levin's talks
Michael Levin explains how bioelectric networks underlie morphogenesis and regenerative capacity, proposing them as an interface to somatic intelligence for future regenerative therapies and control of body patterning.

Episode
Michael Levin, Mark Solms, and Chris Fields explore how novel behaviors arise in problem-solving, whether explanted brain tissue and hybrid robots can be conscious, and how to define sleep in artificial and unconventional agents.
Conversations and working meetings
Mike Levin discusses cancer as a breakdown of multicellularity and morphological intelligence, explaining how bioelectrical signals guide patterning, regeneration, and tumor formation, and how modulating these signals might normalize cancer.
