Conversation with Richard Watson, Mark Solms, and Michael Levin #2
Richard Watson, Mark Solms, and Michael Levin explore concepts of self and temporally extended experience, free will and responsibility, how learning systems generalize beyond data, alien forms of mind, and what extreme cases of brain structure reveal about consciousness.

Conversation between Richard Watson, Iain McGilchrist, and Michael Levin #2
Richard Watson, Iain McGilchrist, and Michael Levin explore brain hemispheres, symmetry and asymmetry, embryonic development, teleology in life and machines, resonance, and how algorithms, embodiment, and plants can exhibit learning and agency.

My talk on consciousness at the Science of Consciousness 2023
Michael Levin discusses implications of his work for understanding consciousness beyond brains, drawing on TAME, morphogenesis as problem solving, bioelectric control of form, xenobots, and the ethical questions raised by future minds.

Iain McGilchrist, Richard Watson, and Mile Levin #4
Michael Levin talks with Iain McGilchrist and Richard Watson about how we explain biological form, covering morphogenesis, memory, mathematical structure, perception, and the limits of purely mechanistic approaches in developmental biology and bioengineering.

Conversation #1 between Richard Watson, Mark Solms, and Michael Levin
Richard Watson, Mark Solms, and Michael Levin discuss dreams, affect, and artificial minds, exploring brainstem lesions, information encoding, and multilevel causation. They also examine emergence, individuality, consciousness, group minds, time, and agency.

Conversation #1 between Chris Fields, Richard Watson, and Mike Levin
Mike Levin hosts Chris Fields and Richard Watson for a working meeting on error-correcting codes, multi-scale control, and the tension between reductionism and macro-level causality, touching on observers, oscillatory networks, and transformative communication.
Conversations and working meetings
Conversation between Mark Solms, Chris Fields, and Mike Levin 3
Mark Solms, Chris Fields, and Mike Levin discuss active inference and the free energy principle, affect and stress regulation, the neural basis of qualia and consciousness, and how global workspace and agency might emerge from brains and simpler systems like bacteria.
Conversations and working meetings
Understanding the Collective Intelligence of Cells
A University of Hertfordshire talk explores collective intelligence in cellular morphogenesis, followed by Q&A on genetics vs bioelectricity, holography and memory, and how affect relates to morphospace.
