Michael Levin (Tufts University), “Communication with intelligence in unconventional embodiments: bioelectricity as a case study”

SCIoI, Marchstraße 23, 10587 Berlin, Room 2.057

Embodiment is critical for intelligence; however, the traditional concept of embodiment as movement in 3-dimensional space covers only a small slice of the way biology exploits embodiment. In this talk, I will present a framework for understanding intelligence more broadly, and show how the multiscale competency of bodies navigates many different kinds of spaces. I
