Expérimental Description
This project investigates how collective behavior in animal groups is influenced by hierarchical interactions, specifically the role of informed leaders, by analyzing how groups of sheep navigate and escape from mazes of varying complexity. It focuses on measuring exit times, movement dynamics, and coordination patterns to understand how leadership and environmental structure affect group decision-making and efficiency.
