We used whole brain fMRI to investigate the neural network specifically engaged in the recognition of “biological motion defined” by point-lights attached to the major joints and head of a human ...

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 ...

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 ...

We used whole brain fMRI to investigate the neural network specifically engaged in the recognition of "biological motion defined" by point-lights attached to the major joints and head of a human ...

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 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 ...
