Perceiving Animacy From Deformation and Translation

i-Perception, 2017
In a cartoon, we often receive an animacy impression from a dynamic nonanimate object, such as a sponge or a flour sack, which does not have an animal-like shape.

Perceiving Animacy in Own-and Other-Species Faces

Frontiers in Psychology, 2019
Though artificial faces of various kinds are rapidly becoming more and more life-like due to advances in graphics technology (Suwajanakorn et al., 2015; Booth et al., 2017), observers can typically distinguish real faces from artificial faces. In general,

Effects of AR-Based Home Appliance Agents on User’s Perception and Maintenance Behavior

Sensors, 2023
Maintenance of home appliances can be tedious. Maintenance work can be physically demanding and it is not always easy to know the cause of a malfunctioning appliance.

Perceiving animacy from shape [PDF]

, 2017
Superordinate visual classification—for example, identifying an image as “animal,” “plant,” or “mineral”—is computationally challenging because radically different items (e.g., “octopus,” “dog”) must be grouped into a common class (“animal”).

P3-22: Perception of Emotion on Object Movement

i-Perception, 2012
Previous studies showed that perceived animacy from object movement using simple figures (i.e., Heider & Simmel, 1944 American Journal of Psychology 57 243–259).

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.

Effects of speeding up or slowing down animate or inanimate motions on timing [PDF]

, 2012
It has recently been suggested that time perception and motor timing are influenced by the presence of biological movements and animacy in the visual scene. Here, we investigated the interactions among timing, speed and animacy in two experiments.

The Impact of Face Inversion on Animacy Categorization

i-Perception, 2017
Face animacy perception is categorical: Gradual changes in the real/artificial appearance of a face lead to nonlinear behavioral responses. Neural markers of face processing are also sensitive to face animacy, further suggesting that these are meaningful

Plasma oxytocin explains individual differences in neural substrates of social perception

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2015
The neuropeptide oxytocin plays a critical role in social cognition and behavior. A number of studies using intranasal administration have demonstrated that oxytocin improves social perception.
