open access: yesResearch, 2022

Synchronous motion modulates animacy perception

open access: yesJournal of Vision, 2015
Visual motion serves as a cue for high-level percepts. The present study reports novel modulation of animacy perception through synchronous motion. A target dot moving along a random trajectory was presented. The trajectory was generated based on a variant of 1/f noise; hence, the dot could be perceived as animate.
