The lab runs large numbers of agents inside a computer to study how people behave.
AboutAbout the lab
Running agents inside a computer to study human behavior.
The Pan Lab specializes in agent-based simulation.
Agent-based simulation is a method in which many agents that act by simple rules are placed inside a computer, and what happens as a whole is examined.
The lab also specializes in cognitive science, which deals with how people receive, remember, and judge information.
Key terms
- Agent-based simulation
- A method in which many individually acting agents are run inside a computer to examine the behavior that emerges at the group level
- Cognitive science
- The field that uses experiments and computation to clarify how people receive, remember, think about, and decide on information
ResearchResearch themes
The lab specializes in agent-based simulation and cognitive science. It studies the behavior of people and groups by running many agents inside a computer.
*Illustrative imageExploring the Conditions That Give Rise to Cooperation
How can agents in a computer overcome the prisoner's dilemma, in which cooperation collapses when each agent considers only its own gain? The lab reviews previous research and identifies the factors that give rise to cooperation.
*Illustrative imageHow Promotion Spreads
How does the effect of promotion change when supporters act with intent, as in elections? Using simulations that run many people inside a computer, the lab examines how groups of people influence opinion in society.
