Michael Levin: Why Biology Holds the Key to Consciousness

Michael Levin: Why Biology Holds the Key to Consciousness

Michael Levin explores how consciousness and cognition arise from biological processes, arguing that emergent properties of living systems provide a bridge between mind and matter. He discusses recent research on cellular memory, bioelectric networks, and the implications for understanding the origins of consciousness. Theories of Everything with Curt Jaimungal features long-form, technically detailed interviews with leading researchers in physics, mathematics, consciousness, and philosophy, exploring topics at the level of active research. For academics, graduate students, and anyone seeking depth beyond popular science. SPONSOR: I subscribe to The Economist for their science and tech coverage. As a TOE listener, get 35% off!
