Frontiers in Physiology, 2018 Filial imprinting is associated with induction of predisposed preference to animations that bear visual features of Johansson's biological motion (BM), and the induction is limited to a few days after hatching. As thyroid hormone (3,5,3′-triiodothyronine,

Dark Field Differential Dynamic Microscopy enables the accurate characterization of the roto-translational dynamics of bacteria and colloidal clusters [PDF]
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.

Thermally Driven Elastic Micromachines
We discuss the directional motion of an elastic three-sphere micromachine in which the spheres are in equilibrium with independent heat baths having different temperatures. Even in the absence of prescribed motion of springs, such a micromachine can gain

Seeing life in the teeming world: animacy perception in arthropods
Frontiers in PsychologyThe term “animacy perception” describes the ability of animals to detect cues that indicate whether a particular object in the environment is alive or not.

Optically gated beating-heart imaging [PDF]
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.

Detection of biological and nonbiological motion
Journal of Vision, 2007 Often it is claimed that humans are particularly sensitive to biological motion. Here, sensitivity as a detection advantage for biological over nonbiological motion is examined. Previous studies comparing biological motion to nonbiological motion have not used appropriate masks or have not taken into account the underlying form present in biological ...

I like the way you move: how animate motion affects visual attention in early human infancy
Frontiers in NeuroscienceThe ability to detect animates (as compared with inanimates) rapidly is advantageous for human survival. Due to its relevance, not only the adult human brain has evolved specific neural mechanisms to discriminate animates, but it has been proposed that ...

Points and Stripes: A Novel Technique for Masking Biological Motion Point-Light Stimuli
Frontiers in Psychology, 2018 Human articulated motion can be readily recognized robustly even from impoverished so-called point-light displays. Such sequence information is processed by separate visual processing channels recruiting different stages at low and intermediate levels of

Biomimetic Algorithms for Coordinated Motion: Theory and Implementation
Drawing inspiration from flight behavior in biological settings (e.g. territorial battles in dragonflies, and flocking in starlings), this paper demonstrates two strategies for coverage and flocking.
