This would be a cool opportunity for #swarmintelligence or #basalcognition folks to attend!

We hope the framework will help to compare decision strategies across radically different organisms and help to move discussions beyond the traditional focus on discrete choice and neural representation.

A conjecture that's eating me: Before brains learned to think, cells were already making Bayesian inferences.

Scientist Shows Fungi Are ‘Mind-blowing’: They Have Memories, Learn Shapes, Can Make Decisions and Solve Problems While it may sound like science fiction, this level of basal cognition is possible even in fungi, which created these shapes above.

Mind-blowing discovery! 🍄✨ New research from Tohoku University shows that fungi—without a brain—can make decisions, solve problems, and even learn shapes! 🧠🌱 www.goodnewsnetwork.org/fungi-percei... #FungiFacts #NatureIntelligence #BasalCognition #ScienceBreakthrough #MyceliumMagic
