Figure–Ground Segmentation and Biological Motion Perception in Peripheral Visual Field [PDF]
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]
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]
Biological 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

“Descriptive Risk-Averse Bayesian Decision-Making,” a Model for Complex Biological Motion Perception in the Human Dorsal Pathway [PDF]
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 ...

“Extended Descriptive Risk-Averse Bayesian Model” a More Comprehensive Approach in Simulating Complex Biological Motion Perception [PDF]
The 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.

Cortical tracking of hierarchical rhythms orchestrates the multisensory processing of biological motion [PDF]
When observing others’ behaviors, we continuously integrate their movements with the corresponding sounds to enhance perception and develop adaptive responses.

Shared and Unique Neural Codes for Biological Motion Perception in Humans and Macaque Monkeys [PDF]
Throughout evolution, living organisms have honed the ability to swiftly recognize biological motion (BM) across species. However, how the brain processes within‐ and cross‐species BM, and the evolutionary progression of these processes, remain unclear ...

Mentalization, Oxytocin, and Cortisol in the General Population
Although evidence suggests the role of oxytocin and cortisol in social cognition and emotion regulation, it is less known how their peripheral levels are related to social perception (biological motion detection) and mentalization (self-reflection ...

The affective motion of humans conveys messages that other humans perceive and understand without conventional linguistic processing. This ability to classify human movement into meaningful gestures or segments plays also a critical role in creating ...

Untangling the Ties Between Social Cognition and Body Motion: Gender Impact
We proved the viability of the general hypothesis that biological motion (BM) processing serves as a hallmark of social cognition. We assumed that BM processing and inferring emotions through BM (body language reading) are firmly linked and examined ...
