Welcome to the Convergent Science Network Podcast!
During the BCBT Summerschools (2010 , 2011 and 2012) hosting professors Paul Verschure and Tony Prescott interviewed several of the speakers after their lectures. But also on other occasions interviews with various scientist in converging fields are conducted.
About the hosts: Paul Verschure is ICREA Professor at SPECS, Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona; Tony Prescott is Professor of Cognitive Neuroscience, University of Sheffield.
The Convergent Science Network of biomimetic and biohybrid systems (CSN, www.csnetwork.eu) is a coordination action for the development of future real-world technologies. CSN is supported through the Future and Emerging Technology programs (FET) of the Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) work programme of Framework Programme 7 of the European Commission.

Thoughts, discussions, and achievements in neurobiology, biomimetic and biohybrid systems
We can learn a lot from brains and bodies when making machines and robots. But reversely, building complex machine systems can also give ideas about how brains and bodies have implemented their functioning over the evolution of ages. This podcast discusses various themes and aspects in-between robotics, neuroscience, cognitive science, artificial intelligence, biology, and technology.
Interview with David Lentink
- An expert in aerodynamics and animal locomotion, David Lentink (Wageningen University, The Netherlands) discusses with Tony Prescott the evolution of flight, its dynamics, and the influence of animal size.
Interview with Bill Hansson
- Bill Hansson's research focuses on the the theme of olfaction, especially in insects. With Paul Verschure he discusses neural structures, but also the ways flowers have evolved to successfully deceive such olfactory systems.
Interview with John Doyle
- John Doyle discusses with Paul Verschure control architectures in single cellular organisms. These small systems seem to very successfully combine small-time scale robustness with long term adaptibility.
Interview with Kathy Rockland
- Kathy Rockland talks with Paul Verschure about cortical organization. Discrepancies between anatomy and funcional structure are discussed, as well as distributive processing.
