Facilitating animacy perception by manipulating stimuli exposure time [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2023 Animacy perception—discriminating between animate and inanimate visual stimuli—is the basis for engaging in social cognition and for our survival (e.g., avoiding potential danger).

Gravity-Dependent Animacy Perception in Zebrafish [PDF]
Research, 2022 Biological motion (BM), depicted by a handful of point lights attached to the major joints, conveys rich animacy information, which is significantly disrupted if BM is shown upside down.

Identifying critical kinematic features of animate motion and contribution to animacy perception [PDF]
iScience, 2023 Summary: Humans can distinguish flying birds from drones based solely on motion features when no image information is available. However, it remains unclear which motion features of animate motion induce our animacy perception.

Newborns’ sensitivity to speed changes as a building block for animacy perception [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 The human visual system can discriminate between animate beings vs. inanimate objects on the basis of some kinematic cues, such as starting from rest and speed changes by self-propulsion.

Chronic oxytocin administration in older men modulates functional connectivity during animacy perception [PDF]
Aging Brain, 2021 While aging is associated with social-cognitive change and oxytocin plays a crucial role in social cognition, oxytocin’s effects on the social brain in older age remain understudied.

Novel approach to study the perception of animacy in dogs. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Humans tend to perceive inanimate objects as animate based on simple motion cues. So far this perceptual bias has been studied mostly in humans by utilizing two-dimensional video and interactive displays.

Perception of animacy in Caucasian and Indian faces [PDF]
Proceedings of the 3rd Symposium on Facial Analysis and Animation, 2013 Masahiro Mori, who introduced the concept of the Uncanny Valley, recommended settling for moderate levels of human likeness in robotic design in order to avoid the eeriness upon encountering entities closely resembling humans [Mori 1970]. However, the strive for highly humanlike design continues, nowadays particularly in areas such as computer graphics

Multi-Modal Inference in Animacy Perception for Artificial Object
i-Perception, 2011 Sometimes we feel animacy for artificial objects and their motion. Animals usually interact with environments through multiple sensory modalities.
