This lecture explores the impact of social dynamics on group foraging behavior, presented by Arjun Ramakrishnan at the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences. Delivered as part of the "Decisions, Games, and Evolution" program, examine how cooperation emerges across biological scales and how cognitive abilities influence decision-making processes that affect both individual and group survival. Learn about the organizing principles behind the evolution of cooperation through perspectives from biological communities, mathematical modeling, cognitive science, social network dynamics, and behavioral economics. Discover how Evolutionary Game Theory provides a framework for understanding social conflicts, individual choices, learning strategies, and population-level outcomes. The presentation contributes to a multidisciplinary dialogue bringing together biologists, cognitive scientists, economists, and physicists to foster cross-disciplinary collaboration in understanding decision-making across all scales.
