Theories of Everything with Curt Jaimungal · Michael Levin: Bioelectric Signals That Reprogram Living Organisms · 21 Mar 2025 podcast

No, you guys have a weird voltage.

You should be like us and be nice normal skin.

And and those two stories kind of battle each other out in the bioelectric patterns until one one of them wins.

Uh anyway, uh what what is it going to look like in the future?

Uh I I suspect right now that what's going to happen is that um uh there's going to be there's going to be a software system with an with a with a AI front end, which will probably speak in in normal you know, human language.

And uh what's going to happen is it's going to have access to uh the various um uh uh uh th measurables that

That are available in your body.

There's a ton of people working on all kinds of wearables that are collecting data about your body, various scans that you might do, maybe electrical, probably other things too.

And um what it's going to what it's going to be able to do is basically it in effect uh allow you to communicate with the various subsystems of your body.

So you're going to have a conversation with your various organs and systems and uh or or your doctor and/or your

Doctor Will.

And uh what you're going to end up doing is all of the kinds of things that um that you do.

uh in the in the behavioral sciences.

Some of for some of it you will be training your cells and tissues with specific stimuli.

Those uh in some cases you will be resetting set points.

In some cases you will be providing uh other kinds of information and those will come through uh electraceuticals, which are uh drugs, ion channel modifying compounds that you to that you would take systemically.

Uh and in some cases it might be optogenetics, meaning uh light patterns uh put down on a certain

In certain cell groups that turn channels on and off and and and they have uh you know are able to transmit into information through the electrical interface.

So uh you know it's too early to paint the the entire picture, but but I think we can do quite a lot with electroceuticals and with optogenetics uh if if we could crack the bioelectric code.

What we really are doing now is trying to understand what are the capabilities of the tissue, what are the messages that get the tissue to do specific.
