"Intrinsic motivation in evolved, engineered, and hybrid systems" by Michael Levin

About

I'm a professor at Tufts University working on fundamental questions around how embodied minds arise, function in the physical world and in other problem spaces, and how they scale and change. This channel contains recorded presentations given at my Allen Discovery Center at Tufts (https://allencenter.tufts.edu/), interviews, discussions, and other material related to my work at the intersection of developmental biology, computer science, and behavior science (www.drmichaellevin.org). I hope to facilitate open science and bring interesting new ideas to all. No editing or optimization is done for these raw recordings of select working meetings and other segments of our scientific process; all videos have participants' approval to be made public. More content, including videos, downloadable materials, and open discussion Comments (and my replies to them) are at my blog at https://thoughtforms.life/ ; these videos in Podcast form are at https://thoughtforms-life.aipodcast.ing/ .
