Three Months-Old’ Preferences for Biological Motion Configuration and Its Subsequent Decline [PDF]
Brain Sciences, 2022 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.

Disorganizing biological motion
Journal of Vision, 2008 The rapid and seemingly effortless organization of visually impoverished point-light displays of humans walking is often held up as a compelling example of the perception of form from motion. Here we show that motion information is not sufficient for the impression of a human walker to be extracted from a point-light display.

The efficiency of biological motion perception [PDF]
Journal of Vision, 2008 Humans can readily perceive biological motion from point-light (PL) animations, which create an image of a moving human figure by tracing the trajectories of a small number of light points affixed to a moving human body. We have applied ideal observer analysis to a standard biological motion discrimination task involving either full-figure or PL ...

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

Working Memory Capacity of Biological Motion’s Basic Unit: Decomposing Biological Motion From the Perspective of Systematic Anatomy [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2022 Many studies have shown that about three biological motions (BMs) can be maintained in working memory. However, no study has yet analyzed the difficulties of experiment materials used, which partially affect the ecological validity of the experiment ...

Conformational Motion of Biological Macromolecules [PDF]
Biophysical Journal, 2009 The beauty of biological macromolecules as a dancer in solution can be seen if we manage to understand graceful movements of the dancers. Biological macromolecules are dynamic machines so for proper functionality they need changing of shape, dancing through each other and non-contacting communicating to execute their “understanding” on distances ...

Adaptation to the Speed of Biological Motion in Autism. [PDF]
J Autism Dev Disord, 2020 Abstract Autistic individuals often present atypicalities in adaptation—the continuous recalibration of perceptual systems driven by recent sensory experiences. Here, we examined such atypicalities in human biological motion. We used a dual-task paradigm, including a running-speed discrimination task (‘comparing the speed of two running ...
