Computational principles of collective intelligence

TBA. Animals (including humans) sometimes show a surprisingly accurate decision collectively, even though individuals have a limited piece of information.

Computational principles of consensus decision making

From restaurant choices to the political elections, humans often make decisions as a group. Given such diverse opinions and preferences possibly existing in individual minds, how do we, or should we aggregate our opinions into a single collective outcome? Can we learn to become better group decision makers through the past experiences of group decision-making events? Here we try to extend theory of individual learning and individual decision making to understand mechanisms behind consensus decisions.

Computational principles of cultural evolution

TBA. Understanding key driving forces of cumulative cultural evolution, and disentangling the interwoven relationships between behaviour, culture, and societies.

Computational principles of social evolution

TBA. What is unique to organisms that have culture compared to non-cultural organisms?
