When animals move together in flocks, herds, or schools, neural dynamics in their brain become synchronized through shared ways of representing space, a new study by researchers from the University of ...
The collective motion of animals in a group is a fascinating topic of research for many scientists. Understanding these collective behaviors can sometimes inspire the development of strategies for ...
Virtual Reality experiments have illuminated the rhythmic glue that could keep animals moving in synchrony. Across nature, animals from swarming insects to herding mammals can organize into seemingly ...
Despite what management gurus may say, it is not always necessary for a group to have a leader. Acting almost like a single body, a group may very well do without one. Indeed, there are plenty of ...

Researchers have developed a new model to predict human flocking behavior based on optics and other sensory data. Like flocks of birds or schools of fish, crowds of humans also tend to move en masse - ...
The results provide further mechanistic detail to our understanding of how animals self-organize into moving collectives. “We show that it takes two fish to tango,” says first author Guy Amichay, who ...
