Social inhibition maintains adaptivity and consensus of honeybees foraging in dynamic environments [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2019 To effectively forage in natural environments, organisms must adapt to changes in the quality and yield of food sources across multiple timescales. Individuals foraging in groups act based on both their private observations and the opinions of their ...

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016 Numerous studies have shown that temperate and boreal forests are limited by nitrogen (N) availability. However, few studies have provided a detailed account of how carbon (C) acquisition of such forests reacts to increasing N supply.

Criteria for optimizing cortical hierarchies with continuous ranges
Frontiers in Neuroinformatics, 2010 In a recent paper (Reid et al.; 2009, NeuroImage) we introduced a method to calculate optimal hierarchies in the visual network that utilizes continuous, rather than discrete, hierarchical levels, and permits a range of acceptable values rather than ...

The riddle of phyllotaxis: exquisite control of divergence angle
Acta Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2016 Phyllotaxis studies published in German in the 1930s have reported intriguing regularity in the arrangement of incipient leaves on shoot apices of a wide variety of plant species.

Optimality and Limitations of Audio-Visual Integration for Cognitive Systems
Frontiers in Robotics and AI, 2020 Multimodal integration is an important process in perceptual decision-making. In humans, this process has often been shown to be statistically optimal, or near optimal: sensory information is combined in a fashion that minimizes the average error in ...

Input-dependent noise can explain magnitude-sensitivity in optimal value-based decision-making
Judgment and Decision Making, 2021 Recent work has derived the optimal policy for two-alternative value-based decisions, in which decision-makers compare the subjective expected reward of two alternatives.

Decision-Making From the Animal Perspective: Bridging Ecology and Subjective Cognition
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2019 Organisms have evolved to trade priorities across various needs, such as growth, survival, and reproduction. In naturally complex environments this incurs high computational costs.
