• Neuroscience Beyond Neurons: How Somatic Bioelectricity Implements an Unconventional Intelligence

  This is a ~1 hr10min talk I gave at a conference on modeling aspects of neuroscience. The talk is about the inverse idea - how tools and concepts from neuroscience apply far beyond neurons and brains, and can help understand a lot of biology across development, evolution, and diverse intelligence. I talked about what the symmetry between cognitive science and the study of morphogenesis means for biomedicine and for some questions in behavioral/cognitive science.CHAPTERS:(00:00) Introduction to Neuroscience Beyond Neurons(03:05) Multi-scale Intelligence and Cognition(06:30) Developmental Biology and Cognition(09:45) Morphogenesis as Collective Intelligence(12:40) Bioelectricity as Cognitive Glue(16:20) Cancer as Cognitive Fragmentation(18:30) Memory in Biological Systems(23:15) Problem-Solving in Morphogenesis(27:10) Evolutionary Implications of Morphogenesis(31:20) Intelligence Ratchet in Evolution(35:05) Computational Models of Development(37:10) Anthrobots: Novel Biological Entities(40:30) Ethics and Consciousness ImplicationsCONNECT WITH ME:Podcast WebsiteYouTubeApple PodcastsSpotifyTwitterBlogThe Levin Lab

• Collective Intelligence of the Body: The Multiscale Architecture of Selves

  This is a ~55 minute talk on the topic of the "Multiscale Human" (https://humanatlas.io/events/2024-24h/). I cover the topics of "what are we", "implications for biomedicine", and "future beyond human repair" from the perspectives of diverse intelligence at different scales of our bodies and at scales of evolution, development, and cognition.CHAPTERS:(00:00) Introduction to Multidisciplinary Research(01:40) Naming and Understanding Nature(03:20) Biological Plasticity Examples(09:30) Memory Beyond the Brain(14:00) Multi-scale Human Development(18:30) Framework for Understanding Agents(22:40) Bioelectric Networks and Intelligence(29:00) Reading Bioelectric Patterns(33:20) Rewriting Bioelectric Patterns(38:00) Regenerative Medicine Applications(40:30) Cancer and Cognitive Light(45:00) Anthrobots and Human Cells(49:00) Future of Biomedicine(51:30) Ethical Implications and Synthbiosis(56:00) Conclusion and AcknowledgmentsCONNECT WITH ME:Podcast WebsiteYouTubeApple PodcastsSpotifyTwitterBlogThe Levin Lab
