Professor Nick Chater serves as Professor of Behavioural Science within the Behavioural Sciences Group at Warwick Business School (WBS), University of Warwick. His academic profile spans cognitive science, behavioral economics, and decision-making psychology, with significant contributions to understanding the fundamental mechanisms of human thought and behavior. Chater's research interests encompass cognitive science, behavioral economics, and the psychology of decision-making. He has pioneered work challenging traditional views of deep, unconscious mental processes, most notably through his influential 2018 book "The Mind is Flat: The Remarkable Shallowness of the Improvising Brain." His research program investigates how people process information, make decisions under uncertainty, and develop language and social coordination mechanisms. Key themes include the role of noise in cognition, Bayesian approaches to modeling human thought, and the application of behavioral insights to public policy design. Chater's extensive publication record reveals a strong trend toward interdisciplinary integration of computational modeling with empirical research. His recent work demonstrates consistent engagement with cutting-edge developments across cognitive science, particularly in Bayesian cognitive modeling and behavioral public policy. The S-Frame agenda for behavioral public policy research represents a systematic approach to translating behavioral insights into policy design. His collaborative network spans psychology, economics, linguistics, and artificial intelligence, reflecting the interdisciplinary nature of modern cognitive science. As an educator, Chater teaches "Behavioural Sciences for the Manager" for Executive MBA programs and "Judgement and Decision Making" for various MSc programs at Warwick Business School. His teaching focuses on applying behavioral science principles to business contexts, helping students understand how cognitive biases and heuristics influence managerial decision-making. His work on coordination in dynamic interactions and moral cognition provides valuable insights for understanding organizational behavior and team dynamics.

Wataru Toyokawa serves as Unit Leader at the Computational Group Dynamics Collaboration Unit, BTCC, RIKEN CBS, Tokyo, and Research Scientist at the University of Konstanz's Department of Psychology. His interdisciplinary work integrates computational modelling, Bayesian statistics, and real-time behavioural experimentation to investigate human social dynamics and collective intelligence. His academic background includes: PhD in Behavioural Science, Hokkaido University (2015) M.Sc. in Behavioural Science, Hokkaido University (2012) B.Sc. in Fisheries Science, Hokkaido University (2010) Toyokawa's research centers on complex systems and social psychology, examining how individual learning strategies shape collective phenomena like cultural evolution and group decision-making. Using mathematical analysis and online experiments, he explores how social learning mitigates cognitive biases and resolves social dilemmas through computational frameworks. His work bridges evolutionary game theory with real-world behavioural data. Recent publications reveal consistent focus on the tension between individual exploration and social information use in collective intelligence. His studies demonstrate how conformity prevents suboptimal decision cascades and how risk tolerance modulates cooperative behavior in social dilemmas, advancing understanding of human group dynamics in complex environments. His scientific recognition includes: Japan Society for Promotion of Science Fellowships (2012-2019) Multiple Young Researcher Awards from Human Behavior & Evolution Society Japan Best-Poster Award from Japan Ethological Society (2012) EHBEA student travel award (2014) Toyokawa secures competitive funding including Association of Psychological Science Estes Fund grants (2022-2023) for COSMOS summer schools and CASCB Large Project grants for collective foraging research. He mentors postdoctoral researchers while teaching experimental methods, R programming, and seminars on social learning at Konstanz. He leads the Computational Group Dynamics (COGNAC) Unit at RIKEN CBS, developing real-time online experiments using Mechanical Turk and computational tools (R, Stan, JavaScript). The unit's research combines evolutionary game theory with human behavioral data to model cultural transmission and collective problem-solving in dynamic environments.
