"Bioelectricity: a bridge between physics and cognition, by way of biology" by Michael Levin
from Thoughtforms Life · host Michael Levin
This is a ~22 minute talk that I gave remotely at the Tech For Impact Summit 2025 in Japan (https://tech4impactsummit.com/). It goes very quickly over the idea of bioelectricity as the cognitive glue between different scales of intelligence at the body, allowing top-down control and transduction of high-level goals down to the chemistry. I discuss the idea of agential materials, the goals of novel beings, and the implications for the future of biomedicine and beyond. CHAPTERS: (00:00) Mind Body Bioelectric Bridge (02:33) Agential Cells, Competent Matter (04:55) Regeneration And Global Goals (08:11) Decoding Embryonic Bioelectric Patterns (11:34) Rewriting Bodily Pattern Memories (14:04) Bioelectric Repatterning And Regeneration (16:31) Anthrobots And Platonic Possibilities (20:11) Future Biomedicine And Ethics PRODUCED BY: https://aipodcast.ing SOCIAL LINKS: Podcast Website: https://thoughtforms-life.aipodcast.ing YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3pVafx6EZqXVI2V_Efu2uw Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/thoughtforms-life/id1805908099 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7JCmtoeH53neYyZeOZ6ym5 Twitter: https://x.com/drmichaellevin Blog: https://thoughtforms.life The Levin Lab: https://drmichaellevin.org
