Gyu-Hwan Lee investigates the neural dynamics underlying social behavior, collective decision-making, and role differentiation in group contexts. In his most-cited work, "Neural dynamics of emergent social roles in collective foraging by mice" (2025), Lee reveals how mice cohabiting with a predator-like spider robot spontaneously adopt distinct roles—such as "working" and "participating"—during group foraging, a process driven by coordinated neural activity. This study, with 2 citations, offers groundbreaking insights into how brains support flexible social structures in real-time, bridging neuroscience and ethology. Lee’s research advances our understanding of the neural basis of cooperation and hierarchy, with implications for studying social disorders and collective behavior in both animals and humans. His work stands out for its innovative use of robotics to simulate naturalistic threats, enabling precise tracking of neural and behavioral dynamics. By uncovering how emergent roles arise from neural circuits, Lee contributes a foundational framework for exploring social cognition, making his research essential for students and scientists interested in the intersection of neuroscience, social behavior, and complex systems.
