Collective Progress: Dynamics of Exit Waves
We study a model of collective search by teams. Discoveries beget discoveries and correlated search results are governed by a Brownian path. Search results' variation at any point -- the search scope -- is jointly controlled. Agents individually choose when to cease search and implement their best discovery. We characterize equilibrium and optimal policies. Search scope is constant and independent of search outcomes as long as no member leaves. It declines after departures. A simple drawdown stopping boundary governs each agent's search termination. We show the emergence of endogenous exit waves, whereby possibly heterogeneous agents cease search all at once.

Individual risk-aversion responses tune epidemics to critical transmissibility ($R=1$)
Changes in human behavior are increasingly recognized as a major determinant of epidemic dynamics. Although collective activity can be modified through imposed measures to control epidemic progression, spontaneous change…
Mesoscopic Collective Activity in Excitatory Neural Fields: Governing Equations
In this study we derive the governing equations for mesoscopic collective activity in the cortex, starting from the generic Hodgkin-Huxley equations for microscopic cell dynamics. For simplicity, and to maintain focus on…
