Michael Levin discusses collective intelligence in morphogenesis as a model for understanding how cognition emerges and scales in living systems, covering bioelectric pattern control, cellular memory, cancer, and xenobots.
Michael Levin's talks
In this 45-minute NIH keynote, Michael Levin outlines how cellular bioelectric signaling underlies morphogenetic intelligence, proposing a bioelectric hypothesis of cancer and exploring electroceutical strategies for tumor normalization and future cancer diagnostics.
Michael Levin's talks
Michael Levin presents morphogenesis as a form of collective intelligence, explaining how cells coordinate via bioelectric signals to build and repair bodies, how this relates to basal cognition, and what it implies for regeneration, cancer, synthetic organisms and ethics.
Michael Levin's talks
This episode explores embodiment through examples of embryos, regeneration, and bioelectric networks, asking how cells coordinate as collective selves. It also considers bioelectric reprogramming in cancer and the implications of xenobots and anthrobots.
Michael Levin's talks
Michael Levin gives an hour-long talk on biorobotics with agential living materials, explaining bioelectric control of morphogenesis, regeneration, pattern memory, and how systems like planaria, xenobots, and anthrobots can be engineered as adaptive machines.
Michael Levin's talks
Michael Levin explains how biological systems, from cells to organisms, exhibit collective intelligence and self-organization, exploring metamorphosis, regeneration, and bioelectric control. He connects these ideas to AI, ethics, and what minds and selves are.
Michael Levin's talks
Michael Levin explains how worms, frogs, and other living systems reveal collective intelligence in regeneration, morphogenesis, and bioelectric signaling, and what this implies for concepts of self, disease, new synthetic organisms, and ethics.
Michael Levin's talks
Michael Levin presents a 45-minute talk on how bioelectric networks guide morphogenesis and can be understood through concepts from cognitive and behavioral science. He discusses pattern memory, regeneration, cancer as a breakdown of tissue-level intelligence, and bioelectric-based therapies.
