Hybrid modelling of individual movement and collective behaviour
Mathematical models of dispersal in biological systems are often written in terms of partial differential equations (PDEs) which describe the time evolution of population-level variables (concentrations, densities). A more detailed modelling approach is given by individual-based (agent-based) models which describe the behaviour of each organism. In recent years, an intermediate modelling method...
متن کاملCollective Problem Solving Through Coordinated Reaction
|We present a methodology, called Constraint Partition and Coordinated Reaction (CP&CR), for collective, evolutionary problem solving. Problem solving is viewed as an emergent functionality from the evolving process of a group of diverse, interacting, and well-coordinated reactive agents. Cheap and e ective search knowledge is extracted from local interactions and embedded in the coordination m...
متن کاملIndividual Basis for Collective Behaviour in the Termite, Cornitermes cumulans
Interactions among individuals in social groups lead to the emergence of collective behaviour at large scales by means of multiplicative non-linear effects. Group foraging, nest building and task allocation are just some well-known examples present in social insects. However the precise mechanisms at the individual level that trigger and amplify social phenomena are not fully understood. Here w...
متن کاملThe thermodynamics of human reaction times
I present a new approach for the interpretation of reaction time (RT) data from behavioral experiments. From a physical perspective, the entropy of the RT distribution provides a model-free estimate of the amount of processing performed by the cognitive system. In this way, the focus is shifted from the conventional interpretation of individual RTs being either long or short, into their distrib...
متن کاملSolving the puzzle of collective action through inter-individual differences.
Models of collective action infrequently account for differences across individuals beyond a limited set of strategies, ignoring variation in endowment (e.g. physical condition, wealth, knowledge, personality, support), individual costs of effort, or expected gains from cooperation. However, behavioural research indicates these inter-individual differences can have significant effects on the dy...
