Perception of biological motion by jumping spiders. [PDF]
PLoS Biol, 2021 The body of most creatures is composed of interconnected joints. During motion, the spatial location of these joints changes, but they must maintain their distances to one another, effectively moving semirigidly.

Modulation of biological motion perception in humans by gravity. [PDF]
Nat Commun, 2022 The human visual perceptual system is highly sensitive to biological motion (BM) but less sensitive to its inverted counterpart. This perceptual inversion effect may stem from our selective sensitivity to gravity-constrained life motion signals and ...

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. The motion of the myosin molecules along the actin filaments is responsible for the contraction of our muscles.

“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 ...

Visual Preference for Biological Motion in Children and Adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder: An Eye-Tracking Study. [PDF]
J Autism Dev Disord, 2021 Participants with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) (n = 121, mean [SD] age: 14.6 [8.0] years) and typically developing (TD) controls (n = 40, 16.4 [13.3] years) were presented with a series of videos representing biological motion on one side of a computer

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

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.
