Michael Levin: Bio Electricity

Dr Michael Levin has spent his career exploring the big questions surrounding what makes life think, grow and understand its environment. The journey he and his team have been on is incredible, and what it teaches us is even more so.

Learn what shapes life and drives behaviour

Dr Levin is at the forefront of life science right now with his groundbreaking work on bioelectricity, morphogenesis and non-neural intelligence, to name just a few research areas.

His work cuts across a vast number of fields in biology, reminding us that everything is connected to everything else and that there is always more to learn.

Research/Areas of Interest

Michael Levin’s research covers a multitude of areas. His profile describes his interests as “Morphological and behavioural information processing in living systems.”. What this means in reality is that his work crosses a multitude of areas including:

  • Bio electricity
  • Consciousness
  • Non neural intelligence
  • Morphogenesis
  • Genes and Genetics

Education

BS, Computer Science and Biology, Tufts University, Medford, United States, 1992

PhD, Genetics, Harvard Medical School, Boston, United States, 1996

Example presentations

The best way to learn about Michael and his work is to listen to him explain it. He is so articulate, patient and intriguing I always find it a pleasure to listen and I know you will too. So here are a couple of the interviews he has been part of to give you an idea of why you need to learn about Michaels’s work.

This next talk carries on sharing Michaels amazing insights.

Denis noble has a paper on bio relativism that Michael recommends. 

A great interview with Michael asking varied and intelligent questions. 

Non-neural intelligence

Michael Levin explains how non-neural intelligence will have come before the neural intelligence that we are all familiar with. Michael’s work demonstrates that biological systems have their own intelligence, which they use to achieve biological architecture problem-solving in diverse spaces.
