Probabilistic modeling reveals coordinated social interaction states and their multisensory bases.

Social behavior across animal species ranges from simple pairwise interactions to thousands of individuals coordinating goal-directed movements. Regardless of the scale, these interactions are governed by the interplay between multimodal sensory information and the internal state of each animal. Here, we investigate how animals use multiple sensory modalities to guide social behavior in the highly social zebrafish () and uncover the complex features of pairwise interactions early in development.
