Simulation of fish-school gradient tracking shows that speed modulation plus simple social forces let the school be read as distributed Bayesian inference over a darkness gradient

Building on the Berdahl et al. 2013 model of collective sensing in fish schools, the study constructs a school-level generative model and proposes that the school approximately performs Bayesian inference over the local darkness gradient through individual speed differences and simple social forces, yielding a posterior whose statistics vary with environmental structure and relate systematically to collective motion and group-size-dependent sensing performance.
