SMART-BARN: A cutting-edge technology lab to study large animal groups

Researchers from the Cluster of Excellence Center for the Advanced Study of Collective Behavior (CASCB) and the Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior have converted a former barn into a cutting-edge technology lab for complex behavioral analysis. In it, they can now study the intricate behavior of animal groups. The barn also served as a prototype for the largest swarm behavior lab at the University of Konstanz: the Imaging Hangar. Details have been published in Science Advances.
