Life Detection From Biological Motion. [PDF]
Curr Dir Psychol Sci, 2023 Life motion, the active movements of people and other animals, contains a wealth of information that is potentially accessible to the visual system of an observer. Biological-motion point-light displays have been widely used to study both the information contained in life motion stimuli and the visual mechanisms that make use of it.

Figure–Ground Segmentation and Biological Motion Perception in Peripheral Visual Field [PDF]
Brain Sciences, 2023 Biological motion perception is a specific type of perceptual organization, during which a clear image of a moving human body is perceptually generated in virtue of certain core light dots representing the major joint movements.

Three Months-Old’ Preferences for Biological Motion Configuration and Its Subsequent Decline [PDF]
Brain Sciences, 2022 To perceive, identify and understand the action of others, it is essential to perceptually organize individual and local moving body parts (such as limbs) into the whole configuration of a human body in action.

Understanding biological motion through the lens of animate motion processing [PDF]
Frontiers in PsychologyBiological motion (BM), the movement generated by living entities, transmits signals of life and conveys vital cues for animacy perception. In this review, we synthesize empirical findings from human and non-human animal studies to reveal how BM enjoys a

Realistic Models of Biological Motion [PDF]
Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications, 1998 The origin of biological motion can be traced back to the function of molecular motor proteins. Cytoplasmic dynein and kinesin transport organelles within our cells moving along a polymeric filament, the microtubule.

“Descriptive Risk-Averse Bayesian Decision-Making,” a Model for Complex Biological Motion Perception in the Human Dorsal Pathway [PDF]
Biomimetics, 2022 Biological motion perception is integral not only to survival but also to the social life of human beings. Identifying the underlying mechanisms and their associated neurobiological substrates has been a matter of investigation and debate for some time ...

Flow parsing and biological motion. [PDF]
Atten Percept Psychophys, 2021 AbstractFlow parsing is a way to estimate the direction of scene-relative motion of independently moving objects during self-motion of the observer. So far, this has been tested for simple geometric shapes such as dots or bars. Whether further cues such as prior knowledge about typical directions of an object’s movement, e.g., typical human motion, are

“Extended Descriptive Risk-Averse Bayesian Model” a More Comprehensive Approach in Simulating Complex Biological Motion Perception [PDF]
BiomimeticsThe ability to perceive biological motion is crucial for human survival, social interactions, and communication. Over the years, researchers have studied the mechanisms and neurobiological substrates that enable this ability.
