Building a Bird: Musculoskeletal Modeling and Simulation of Wing-Assisted Incline Running During Avian Ontogeny

open access: yesFrontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2018
Flapping flight is the most power-demanding mode of locomotion, associated with a suite of anatomical specializations in extant adult birds. In contrast, many developing birds use their forelimbs to negotiate environments long before acquiring “flight ...

Biological Motion Coding in the Brain: Analysis of Visually Driven EEG Functional Networks

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Herein, we address the time evolution of brain functional networks computed from electroencephalographic activity driven by visual stimuli. We describe how these functional network signatures change in fast scale when confronted with point-light display ...

Phase Diagram of Collective Motion of Bacterial Cells in a Shallow Circular Pool [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2015
The collective motion of bacterial cells in a shallow circular pool is systematically studied using the bacterial species $Bacillus$ $subtilis$. The ratio of cell length to pool diameter (i.e., the reduced cell length) ranges from 0.06 to 0.43 in our experiments.

Critical features for the recognition of biological motion

open access: yesJournal of Vision, 2005
Humans can perceive the motion of living beings from very impoverished stimuli like point-light displays. How the visual system achieves the robust generalization from normal to point-light stimuli remains an unresolved question. We present evidence on multiple levels demonstrating that this generalization might be accomplished by an extraction of ...

Developmental tuning of reflexive attentional effect to biological motion cues

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2014
The human visual system is extremely sensitive to the direction information retrieved from biological motion. In the current study, we investigate the functional impact of this sensitivity on attentional orienting in young children.

A computational model for motion detection and direction discrimination in humans [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
Seeing biological motion is very important for both humans and computers. Psychophysics experiments show that the ability of our visual system for biological motion detection and direction discrimination is different from that for simple translation. The

Self-Organization, Active Brownian Dynamics, and Biological Applications [PDF]

open access: yesNova Acta Leopoldina NF, vol. 88, no. 332 (2003) pp. 169-188, 2002
After summarizing basic features of self-organization such as entropy export, feedbacks and nonlinear dynamics, we discuss several examples in biology. The main part of the paper is devoted to a model of active Brownian motion that allows a stochastic description of the active motion of biological entities based on energy consumption and conversion ...

A Dual Fast and Slow Feature Interaction in Biologically Inspired Visual Recognition of Human Action [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2015
Computational neuroscience studies that have examined human visual system through functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) have identified a model where the mammalian brain pursues two distinct pathways (for recognition of biological movement tasks).
