- Iain Couzin and his team discovered that there exist fundamental geometrical principles that apply across scales of biological organization, from the scale of neural interactions, to individual and collective decision-making. Specifically, their work revealed that animals’ brains cope with environmental complexity by spontaneously reducing the many options they face in the world into a series of sequential binary decisions, a response that facilitates highly effective decision-making and is robust both to the number of options available and to ecological context. These principles, hitherto overlooked, apply across scales of biological organization, from individual to collective decision-making.
