Brownian molecular motors driven by rotation-translation coupling
, 2006 We investigated three models of Brownian motors which convert rotational diffusion into directed translational motion by switching on and off a potential.

Sex Differences in the Neuromagnetic Cortical Response to Biological Motion.
Cerebral Cortex, 2015 Body motion is a rich source of information for social interaction, and visual biological motion processing may be considered as a hallmark of social cognition. It is unclear, however, whether the social brain is sex specific.

Motion camouflage in three dimensions [PDF]
arXiv, 2006 We formulate and analyze a three-dimensional model of motion camouflage, a stealth strategy observed in nature. A high-gain feedback law for motion camouflage is formulated in which the pursuer and evader trajectories are described using natural Frenet frames (or relatively parallel adapted frames), and the corresponding natural curvatures serve as ...

Detection of biological and nonbiological motion
Journal of Vision, 2007 Often it is claimed that humans are particularly sensitive to biological motion. Here, sensitivity as a detection advantage for biological over nonbiological motion is examined. Previous studies comparing biological motion to nonbiological motion have not used appropriate masks or have not taken into account the underlying form present in biological ...

Frontiers in Physiology, 2018 Filial imprinting is associated with induction of predisposed preference to animations that bear visual features of Johansson's biological motion (BM), and the induction is limited to a few days after hatching. As thyroid hormone (3,5,3′-triiodothyronine,

Random walk with barriers: Diffusion restricted by permeable membranes
, 2010 Restrictions to molecular motion by barriers (membranes) are ubiquitous in biological tissues, porous media and composite materials. A major challenge is to characterize the microstructure of a material or an organism nondestructively using a bulk ...

Towards Computational Models and Applications of Insect Visual Systems for Motion Perception: A Review [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 Motion perception is a critical capability determining a variety of aspects of insects' life, including avoiding predators, foraging and so forth. A good number of motion detectors have been identified in the insects' visual pathways. Computational modelling of these motion detectors has not only been providing effective solutions to artificial ...

Translation and articulation in biological motion perception.
Journal of Vision, 2015 Recent models of biological motion processing focus on the articulational aspect of human walking investigated by point-light figures walking in place.

Biological Motion: A Perceptual Life Detector? [PDF]
Current Biology, 2006 Detecting the direction of motion of other animals is critical for a variety of adaptive behaviours, including filial attachment and hunting prey. Two new studies support the view that some vertebrates, including humans, have primitive brain systems for the visual detection of other legged vertebrates.

Biological Motion Primes the Animate/Inanimate Distinction in Infancy
PLoS ONE, 2015 Given that biological motion is both detected and preferred early in life, we tested the hypothesis that biological motion might be instrumental to infants’ differentiation of animate and inanimate categories.
