Biological motion refers to the kinesthetic information of living beings (i.e., humans and animals). The ability of biological motion perception is crucial for the organism's survival and social ...

Human perception is not always a faithful representation of the physical world, as it can be significantly biased by the surrounding context. For example, the orientation of a vertical grating is ...

Humans may not be any more sensitive in detecting biological motion compared with nonbiological motion, concludes a new study. One researcher contends that although many papers on the subject begin by ...

In a series of experiments in which more than 150 monozygotic and dizygotic twin pairs, 15-27 years of age, analyzed point-light displays of biological motion (BM), or the movements of living ...

Experimental design (a) and results for the space experiment (b) and the ground-based control experiments (c & d). BMIE: the normalized BM inversion effect; BMUpr & BMInv: task performances for the ...

Humans can readily perceive and recognize the movements of a living creature, based solely on a few point-lights tracking the motion of the major joints. Such exquisite sensitivity to biological ...
