"Novel Bodies, Unconventional Minds: diverse intelligence and the study of consciousness"

This is a ~55 minute talk titled "Novel Bodies, Unconventional Minds: a diverse intelligence perspective on a continuum of cognition (and consciousness)" by Michael Levin given at the CIFAR (cifar.ca/next-...) Neuroscience of Consciousness Winter School, + about 20 min of Q&A. My lab doesn't normally work on consciousness per se, but we do a lot of things that are relevant to questions in the philosophy of mind so in this talk I actually focus on the intersections between our experimental and conceptual work and questions of consciousness science.
