Thoughts on the science and philosophy of embodied minds, and the lives that can be; the more personal, broader complement to my laboratory research on the biophysical mechanisms of embodied intelligence.

Here is a talk I gave to an audience working on data science approaches to biomedical discoveries. They were into computer science, and concepts related to software in biology and how to infer interventions and control mechanisms.
-
A few select science and philosophy related quotes on a background of an image.
-
A set of introductory links for people to begin get familiar with the work that my lab and I do.

I no longer use this amazing slide showing how cell voltage (resting potential) distinguishes between plastic, proliferative cells and quiescent mature ones. It’s true, but it distracts from the bigger picture of bioelectricity as a collective organ-wide phenomenon.

In this conversation with Adam Omary and Roy F. Baumeister we discuss collective intelligence and its applicability above the level of the individual to economic and social scales.

Here are some images I generated back around 2015-2016 using Alex Mordvintsev’s Deep Dream method, modifying existing photos or making new ones.
