Learning has been studied extensively in the context of isolated individuals. However, many organisms are social and consequently make decisions both individually and as part of a collective. Reaching consensus necessarily means that a single option is chosen by the group, even when there are dissenting opinions. This decision-making process decouples the otherwise direct relationship between a...

متن کاملCommunication and Collective Consensus Making in Animal Groups via Mechanical Interactions
Mechanical constraints have strong influence on the dynamics, and structure of granular aggregations. The contact forces within dense suspensions of active particles may give rise to intriguing phenomena including anomalous density fluctuations, long-range orientational ordering, and spontaneous pattern formation. Various authors have proposed that these physical phenomena contribute to the abi...
