[ Mind on Screen Archive] Documentary L' Isola Analogica / The Analogical Island by Francesco Raganato, Italy

The Analogical Island tells the story of some unusual events that took place on one of the Aeolian Islands. Legends, hallucinations, freaky stories and superstitions, all brought about by the accidental consumption of Ergot mushrooms, the plant LSD is made from.

L'Isola Analogica racconta alcune curiose vicende che hanno avuto luogo ad Alicudi, un'isola delle Eolie. Leggende, allucinazioni, usanze e superstizioni, causate dal consumo accidentale di segale cornuta, la pianta da cui si ricava l'LSD.

Revealing the hidden networks of interaction in mobile animal groups allows prediction of complex behavioral contagion. Sara Brin Rosenthal et al (2015), Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences Coordination among social animals requires rapid and efficient transfer of information among individuals, which may depend crucially on the underlying structure of the communication network. Establishing the decision-making circuits and networks that give rise to individual behavior has been a central goal of neuroscience. However, the analogous problem of determining the structure of the communication network among organisms that gives rise to coordinated collective behavior, such as is exhibited by schooling fish and flocking birds, has remained almost entirely neglected. Here, we study collective evasion maneuvers, manifested through rapid waves, or cascades, of behavioral change (
