In this 1-hour talk on the Technological Approach to Mind Everywhere (TAME), the speaker examines how bioelectricity coordinates cells into collective intelligences, framing morphogenesis, memory, xenobots, and future bodies as problem solving in morphospace.
Michael Levin's talks
The episode examines developmental bioelectricity as a foundation for brains, cognition, and behavior, from tadpoles that see with eyes on their tails to cells navigating morphospace and storing pattern memories. It also explores xenobots and hybrid organisms as probes of intelligence.
Michael Levin's talks
Michael Levin discusses multi-scale bioelectric intelligence, regeneration, and the continuum of cognition, linking developmental biology with AI, embodiment, and forms of intelligence beyond brains and individual organisms.
Michael Levin's talks
Michael Levin discusses cancer as a failure of bioelectric communication in cell networks, explaining how tissues encode anatomical control and how computationally guided ion channel therapies might diagnose, normalize, and reprogram tumor growth.
Michael Levin's talks
Dr. Michael Levin introduces TAME, a framework for comparing intelligence in animals, collectives, machines, and possible alien minds. He explores morphogenesis as collective intelligence, cognitive light cones, and how bioengineering reshapes ideas of self and consciousness.
