Our project will tackle these questions through the study of emergent collective intelligence and the factors that enhance it. We will examine groups of humans completing game-based tasks, and model their behavior using techniques from the intersecting disciplines of machine learning, neuroscience, and complex systems. We will determine how individual function coupled with patterns of interaction among individuals gives rise to collective group intelligence, and how this group intelligence is affected by group make-up, the renewal of participants, and the addition of threats. The ultimate aim is to uncover the fundamental principles leading to the emergence of collective intelligence in groups of humans.
