Seeing biological motion

Nature, 1998
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 ...

Perception of Biological Motion

Perception, 1997
Boundary 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), 2016
Human 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 ...

Simulating biological and non-biological motion

Brain and Cognition, 2008
It is widely accepted that the brain processes biological and non-biological movements in distinct neural circuits. Biological motion, in contrast to non-biological motion, refers to active movements of living beings. Aim of our experiment was to investigate the mechanisms underlying mental simulation of these two movement types. Subjects had to either

Perception of Elliptic Biological Motion

Perception, 2006
We 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.

Biological Motion Alters Coherent Motion Perception

Perception, 2008
When 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).
