Collective Information Processing
From Individual Sensory Inputs to Collective Behavior and Collective Decision Making
A three-day workshop at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Germany, March 4th-6th 2020, on novel developments in collective animal behavior. A specific focus of the workshop shall be the link between individual sensing and cognition on the one hand, and emergent collective behaviors on the other hand. I particularly hope for a fruitful exchange and discussion on current challenges in bringing together behavioral biology, mathematical modeling and neuroscience in the field of collective animal behavior.
