DESCRIPTION:Agent-based models provide simulations of animal groups that n
 avigate and reach consensus decisions between different available targets.
  During these simualtions\, and as observed in experiments\, there seem to
  be bifurcations in the trajectories where the behavior switches between m
 otion along the compromise direction (average of several targets' directio
 ns) and a decision to move towards one of the targets. We present a simple
  spin-based model for this collective directional decision-making process.
  The same model is then shown to describe successfully the directional dec
 ision-making of a single animal\, across several species. Finally\, we imp
 lement this model on the individual level for a group of animals (in a fis
 h school\, for example).
