Study of collective behavior in animal populations and its potential applications in human societies.
Lain Couzin studied groups of animals to understand collective behavior within animal populations, such as flocking or schooling.
When two parts of the same group want to go in different directions to access a food supply, Couzin found that a consensus is often reached through group decision-making mechanisms like information sharing and communication.
The research described in this article could be useful in the future for understanding social dynamics in human societies and potentially applying insights from animal behavior to human decision-making processes.
