In this video I speak with Ben Goult, Professor of Biochemistry at the University of Kent, where his lab researches the mechanical basis of memory and the role of the protein Talin as an information storing molecule. This, Ben refers to as the MeshCODE theory. We discuss this theory of memory and more in our discussion. Enjoy!
