A new mathematical model evaluates the influence of social learners in group decision-making and how a critical threshold is key to informed choices.
In order to understand life's full range of forms, new theoretical frameworks must be developed, researchers say.
Researchers used data of active COVID-19 case rates from China to set the parameters for the model. Applying the formula to other counties, including the UK, France, and Brazil, they found a match in the evolution of active cases and fatality rates over time.
A new model sheds light on the evolutionary origins of empathy and other associated phenomena. The model explains observed patterns of emotional cognition between social group members.
Researchers investigate how neurons work together to help us make decisions.
Four or five angry monkeys at one time can cause the social system to destabilize and cause massive fights to break out, researchers report.
