Examining Team Interaction using Dynamic Complexity and Network Visualizations

Given the increasing complexity of many sociotechnical work domains, effective teamwork has become increasingly crucial. While there is evidence that face-to-face communication contributes to effective teamwork, methods for understanding the …

Examining Team Coordination Breakdowns in Crisis Situations

Multiscale movement coordination dynamics in collaborative team problem solving

During collaborative problem solving (CPS), coordination occurs at different spatial and temporal scales. This multiscale coordination should play a functional role in facilitating effective collaboration. To evaluate this, we conducted a study of …

Problem-Solving Phase Transitions During Team Collaboration

Multiple theories of problem-solving hypothesize that there are distinct qualitative phases exhibited during effective problem-solving. However, limited research has attempted to identify when transitions between phases occur. We integrate theory on …

Changes in Dimensionality and Fractal Scaling Suggest Soft-Assembled Dynamics in Human EEG

Humans are high-dimensional, complex systems consisting of many components that must coordinate in order to perform even the simplest of activities. Many behavioral studies, especially in the movement sciences, have advanced the notion of …

Modeling Multi-Agent Self-Organization through the Lens of Higher Order Attractor Dynamics

Social interaction occurs across many time scales and varying numbers of agents; from one-on-one to large-scale coordination in organizations, crowds, cities, and colonies. These contexts, are characterized be emergent self-organization that implies …
