Perception of Biological Motion
Perception, 1997Boundary conditions for perception of biological motion were explored with the use of computer-generated point-light animation sequences. Perception of this unique form of structure from motion is immune to variations in dot contrast polarity, dot disparity, and spatial-frequency filtering.

The complexity of biological motion
2016 Joint IEEE International Conference on Development and Learning and Epigenetic Robotics (ICDL-EpiRob), 2016Human neonates show a natural predisposition towards biological motion: despite the limited visual information available, they can distinguish the movement of other living agents from object motion. This ability has been suggested to be the basis for identifying conspecifics from birth, hence representing a fundamental skill for the development of ...

One of the more stunning examples of the resourcefulness of human vision is the ability to see 'biological motion', which was first shown with an adaptation of earlier cinematic work: illumination of only the joints of a walking person is enough to convey a vivid, compelling impression of human animation, although the percept collapses to a jumble of ...

The paper discusses the detailed analysis of visual speech. As with other forms of biological motion, humans are known to be very sensitive to the realism in the ways the lips move. In order to determine the elements that come to play in the perceptual analysis of visual speech, it is important to have control over the data.

Biological Motion Alters Coherent Motion Perception
Perception, 2008When a movie presents a person walking, the background appears to move in the direction opposite to the person's gait. This study verified this backscroll illusion by presenting a point-light walker against a background of a random-dot cinematogram (RDC).

Motion Induction from Biological Motion
Perception, 2003A new type of motion illusion is described in which ambiguous motion becomes unidirectional on superimposition of a human figure walking on a treadmill. A point-light walker in profile was superimposed on a vertical counterphase grating backdrop. Eleven naïve observers judged the apparent direction of motion against the grating as left or right in a ...

Aging and the Perception of Biological Motion.
Psychology and Aging, 2004Two experiments examined how observers' ability to perceive biological motion changes with increasing age. The observers discriminated among kinetic figures, depicting walking, jogging, and skipping. The direction, duration, and temporal correspondence of the motions were manipulated.

The Thatcher Effect in Biological Motion
Perception, 2011We demonstrate the Thatcher effect in biological-motion displays and show that it is primarily a result of the moving, and not static, cues in the display.

Perception of Elliptic Biological Motion
Perception, 2006We tested the ability of the mature visual system for discrimination between types of elliptic biological motion on the basis of event kinematics. Healthy adult volunteers were presented with point-light displays depicting elliptic motion when only a single dot, a moving point-light arm, or a whole point-light human figure was visible.

Roles of Motion and Form in Biological Motion Recognition
2003Animals and humans recognize biological movements and actions with high robustness and accuracy. It still remains to be clarified how different neural mechanisms processing form and motion information contribute to this recognition process. We investigate this question using simple learning-based neurophysiologically inspired mechanisms for biological ...
