Giovanni Pezzulo is a researcher at the Institute of Cognitive Sciences and Technologies, National Research Council in Rome, Italy. His research centers on the neuronal and computational mechanisms of predictive processing, goal-directed behaviour, and the sensorimotor foundations of higher cognition. Human sensorimotor communication during human joint action: experimental and computational perspectives During online social interactions,

Guy Theraulaz, (CNRS, Toulouse, France. Host: Pawel Romanczuk): Ethological Analysis and Computational Modeling of Social Interactions in Schooling Fish

Abstract: Swarms of insects, schools of fish and flocks of birds display an impressive variety of collective movement patterns that emerge from interactions among group members. These puzzling phenomena raise a variety of questions about the interaction rules that govern the coordination of individuals’ motion and the emergence of large-scale patterns. While numerous models have
