How Bird Flocks Turn INFORMATION TRANSFER AND BEHAVIOURAL INERTIA IN STARLING FLOCKS - Authors: Andrea Cavagna, Asja Jelic, et.al.; Published: 7/27/2014; doi:10.1038/nphys3035; Nature Physics, Nature Publishing Group Multimedia "Information transfer and behavioural inertia in starling flocks" (Text & Images) "Information transfer and behavioural inertia in starling flocks" "...Here we present an experimental study of starling flocks performing collective turns. We find that information about direction changes propagates across the flock with a linear dispersion law and negligible attenuation, hence minimizing group decoherence. These results contrast starkly with present models of collective motion, which predict diffusive transport of information..."

"How bird flocks are like liquid helium" "...Using tracking software on the recorded video, the team could pinpoint when and where individuals decide to turn, information that enabled them to follow how the decision sweeps through the flock. The tracking data showed that the message to turn started from a handful of birds and swept through the flock at a constant speed between 20 and 40 meters per second. That means that for a group of 400 birds, it takes just a little more than a half-second for the whole flock to turn..." "...The researchers derived a mathematical description of how a turn moves through the flock..." "...Interestingly, Cavagna adds, the new model is mathematically identical to the equations that describe superfluid helium..."

"...an anatomical label volume ( 13 structures)based on the average brain, and anatomical label volumes ( 13 structures ) retrieved from the probability maps at threshold of 62.5%, 75%, 87.5% and 100% confidences estimated from the population used to construct the atlas (all structures here are smaller then the sizes of their corresponding average structures)..."
