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.
Michael Levin's talks
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.
