Scaling and Intermittency in Animal Behavior [PDF]
, 1999 Scale-invariant spatial or temporal patterns and L\'evy flight motion have been observed in a large variety of biological systems. It has been argued that animals in general might perform L\'evy flight motion with power law distribution of times between ...

The interpretation of biological motion [PDF]
Biological Cybernetics, 1982 The term biological motion has been coined by Johansson (1973) to refer to the ambulatory patterns of terrestrial bipeds and quadripeds. In this paper a computational theory of the visual perception of biological motion is proposed. The specific problem addressed is how the three-dimensional structure and motions of animal limbs may be computed from ...

A Self-Assembled Microlensing Rotational Probe [PDF]
, 1998 A technique to measure microscopic rotational motion is presented. When a small fluorescent polystyrene microsphere is attached to a larger polystyrene microsphere, the larger sphere acts as a lens for the smaller microsphere and provides an optical ...

Perception of biological motion without local image motion [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2002 A vivid perception of the moving form of a human figure can be obtained from a few moving light points on the joints of the body. This is known as biological motion perception. It is commonly believed that the perception of biological motion rests on image motion signals.

Dark Field Differential Dynamic Microscopy enables the accurate characterization of the roto-translational dynamics of bacteria and colloidal clusters [PDF]
, 2017 Micro- and nanoscale objects with anisotropic shape are key components of a variety of biological systems and inert complex materials, and represent fundamental building blocks of novel self-assembly strategies.

Detecting Biological Motion for Human–Robot Interaction: A Link between Perception and Action
Frontiers in Robotics and AI, 2017 One of the fundamental skills supporting safe and comfortable interaction between humans is their capability to understand intuitively each other’s actions and intentions.

Optically gated beating-heart imaging [PDF]
, 2014 The constant motion of the beating heart presents an obstacle to clear optical imaging, especially 3D imaging, in small animals where direct optical imaging would otherwise be possible.

The Impact of Autistic Traits on Self-Recognition of Body Movements
Frontiers in Psychology, 2019 Despite the sparse visual information and paucity of self-identifying cues provided by point-light stimuli, as well as a dearth of experience in seeing our own-body movements, people can identify themselves solely based on the kinematics of body ...
