… In this work, we follow the formation of attraction behavior during the ontogeny of collective
behavior in zebrafish. We used our newly developed tracking system of animals in groups, …

… a particular collective configuration, how can we infer the local rules that … local rules
generating the desired configurations, we used a systematic version of the collective behavior …

… between the collective behavior identified in the neuronal activity and the behavior of the
animal. … parameters is small, in which case we can approximate the inferred parameters using a …

… These coordinated group behaviors appear to emerge only from interactions between
individuals, … Thus, collective behavior has captivated a broad spectrum of researchers from many …

… The models I introduce suggest distributed Bayesian inference as a framework for
understanding shared belief formation, and also show that people can overcome other difficult …

… In human cognition, the ability to infer the mental states of others is often called Theory-of-Mind
and here we develop a Theory-of-Minds which explains and predicts group behavior. …

In the field of collective behaviour, we are interested in how individual-level interactions (…

… Fourth, I will argue that the material rules of inference in the … mere rule-conforming
behavior—a metalanguage in which these rules are explicitly formulated—presupposes collective …
