Biological Prompt Engineering: Cybernetics Perspective on Programmable Biology | Online Ekkolápto Polymath Salon
DETAILS ➡️:
Topics ⭐️:
• Join Addy Cha for an introductory keynote of Ekkolapto's launching experiment on Biological Prompt Engineering: Can we train or condition the body to "memorize" the effects/phenomenology of caffeine so we no longer have to consume it?
• Interpreting the scientific history of Pavlovian conditioning, psychosomatic conditions, hypnosis, placebo/nocebo, prayer, and method acting through the lens of modern cognitive science and information theory–and how we can use this perspective to invent new methods for safely modifying physiology and cognition.
• Hosted by Addy Cha (Founder @ Ekkolapto.org, O'Shaughnessy Ventures 2025 Grantee).
• Previous hackathons, salons, podcasts, and dinners at MIT, UT Austin, FAU, Harvard, Augmentation Lab, Frontier Tower in SF, DC/Maryland, NYC, University of Toronto, University of Waterloo.
