Humans may not be any more sensitive in detecting biological motion compared with nonbiological motion, concludes a new study. One researcher contends that although many papers on the subject begin by ...

Humans can readily perceive and recognize the movements of a living creature, based solely on a few point-lights tracking the motion of the major joints. Such exquisite sensitivity to biological ...

In a series of experiments in which more than 150 monozygotic and dizygotic twin pairs, 15-27 years of age, analyzed point-light displays of biological motion (BM), or the movements of living ...

Experimental design (a) and results for the space experiment (b) and the ground-based control experiments (c & d). BMIE: the normalized BM inversion effect; BMUpr & BMInv: task performances for the ...
