Description
Brian Skyrms explores how fundamental signals shape our world. He uses theories of signaling games, information, evolution, and learning to investigate the development of meaning and communication. Through his work, he shows how signaling games evolve and introduces a new model of learning with invention. The natural process of gradual change leads to complex signals, which operate in networks of senders and receivers across all levels of life. Information is transmitted but also processed in various ways, influencing our thought processes. Signaling plays a key role in the evolution of teamwork, observed in both humans and animals, as well as in micro-organisms. Communication and co-ordination of action are distinct aspects of information flow, both affected by signals.
