The lab studies emergent phenomena through animal groups.

AboutAbout the lab
Considering emergence through how a group becomes a single body.
Niizato Lab aims to elucidate emergent phenomena in general through the study of groups of animals and other organisms.
Focusing on the dual nature of each individual, its individuality (token) and its sociality (type), the lab examines the process by which a group acquires a single body.
The lab conducts numerical simulations and experiments; in its experiments, it analyzes the movements of schools of ayu (sweetfish).
The information on the lab's website dates from around 2014 to 2016.
Key terms
- Emergence
- The phenomenon in which new properties or behaviors appear in the whole when individual elements come together
- Token
- The aspect of something as an individual entity. In contrast, the aspect as a collective is called the type
