Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A
. 2024 Feb;
121(10):e2313603121.
PMID: 38416682
Color naming in natural languages is not arbitrary: It reflects efficient partitions of perceptual color space [T. Regier, P. Kay, N. Khetarpal, , 1436-1441 (2007)] modulated by the relative needs...

Neuron
. 2023 Jul;
111(18):2811-2830.e8.
PMID: 37442132
Ongoing pain is driven by the activation and modulation of pain-sensing neurons, affecting physiology, motor function, and motivation to engage in certain behaviors. The complexity of the pain state has...

Sridhar V, Davidson J, Twomey C, Sosna M, Nagy M, Couzin I
Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci
. 2023 Feb;
378(1874):20220062.
PMID: 36802787
Many animal behaviours exhibit complex temporal dynamics, suggesting there are multiple timescales at which they should be studied. However, researchers often focus on behaviours that occur over relatively restricted temporal...

Both prey and predator features predict the individual predation risk and survival of schooling prey
Jolles J, Sosna M, Mazue G, Twomey C, Bak-Coleman J, Rubenstein D, et al.
Elife
. 2022 Jul;
11.
PMID: 35852826
Predation is one of the main evolutionary drivers of social grouping. While it is well appreciated that predation risk is likely not shared equally among individuals within groups, its detailed...

Poel W, Daniels B, Sosna M, Twomey C, Leblanc S, Couzin I, et al.
Sci Adv
. 2022 Jun;
8(25):eabm6385.
PMID: 35731883
Theoretical physics predicts optimal information processing in living systems near transitions (or pseudo-critical points) in their collective dynamics. However, focusing on potential benefits of proximity to a critical point, such...

Twomey C, Roberts G, Brainard D, Plotkin J
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A
. 2021 Sep;
118(39).
PMID: 34556580
Names for colors vary widely across languages, but color categories are remarkably consistent. Shared mechanisms of color perception help explain consistent partitions of visible light into discrete color vocabularies. But...

Davidson J, Sosna M, Twomey C, Sridhar V, Leblanc S, Couzin I
J R Soc Interface
. 2021 Jul;
18(180):20210142.
PMID: 34229461
We investigate key principles underlying individual, and collective, visual detection of stimuli, and how this relates to the internal structure of groups. While the individual and collective detection principles are...

. 2021 Apr;
18(177):20210114.
PMID: 33849331
We study the collective dynamics of groups of whirligig beetles swimming freely on the surface of water. We extract individual trajectories for each beetle, including positions and orientations, and use...

Objective and automatic measurement of pain in mice remains a barrier for discovery in neuroscience. Here, we capture paw kinematics during pain behavior in mice with high-speed videography and automated...

. 2020 Mar;
140(4):361-377.
PMID: 32206979
From fish schools and bird flocks to biofilms and neural networks, collective systems in nature are made up of many mutually influencing individuals that interact locally to produce large-scale coordinated...
