Perception of Human Motion
Randolph Blake,Maggie Shiffrar +1 more
TL;DR: In recent years, remarkable advances have been made in the understanding of the visual, motoric, and affective influences on perception of human action, as well as in the elucidation of the neural concomitants of perception ofhuman action.

Abstract: Humans, being highly social creatures, rely heavily on the ability to perceive what others are doing and to infer from gestures and expressions what others may be intending to do. These perceptual skills are easily mastered by most, but not all, people, in large part because human action readily communicates intentions and feelings. In recent years, remarkable advances have been made in our understanding of the visual, motoric, and affective influences on perception of human action, as well as in the elucidation of the neural concomitants of perception of human action. This article reviews those advances and, where possible, draws links among those findings.

What is suspicious when trying to be inconspicuous? Criminal intentions inferred from nonverbal behavioral cues
TL;DR: Nonverbal behavior of offenders seems to differ from non verbal behavior of nonoffenders, however, this holds only under the conditions of a valid baseline and of judging not only a single, typical behavioral cue but a whole cluster of nonverbal behaviors, such as pattern of movement in space or use of object-adaptors in general.

TL;DR: The results provide new evidence of brain selectivity to different types of motion and validate previous findings on the vestibular cerebral cortex.

Encodings of implied motion for animate and inanimate object categories in the two visual pathways
Zhengang Lu,Xueting Li,Ming Meng +2 more
TL;DR: Novel evidence is provided to support integrated encoding of motion and object categories, suggesting a rethink of the relationship between the two visual pathways.
Holding biological motion information in working memory.
TL;DR: Results support the hypothesis that an independent storage buffer of WM exists for kinetic information, which can hold up to 3 to 4 motion units and are affected by a concurrent memory task of non-BM movements.

Distributed Hierarchical Processing in the Primate Cerebral Cortex
TL;DR: A summary of the layout of cortical areas associated with vision and with other modalities, a computerized database for storing and representing large amounts of information on connectivity patterns, and the application of these data to the analysis of hierarchical organization of the cerebral cortex are reported on.
The Fusiform Face Area: A Module in Human Extrastriate Cortex Specialized for Face Perception
TL;DR: The data allow us to reject alternative accounts of the function of the fusiform face area (area “FF”) that appeal to visual attention, subordinate-level classification, or general processing of any animate or human forms, demonstrating that this region is selectively involved in the perception of faces.
The mirror-neuron system.
TL;DR: A neurophysiological mechanism appears to play a fundamental role in both action understanding and imitation, and those properties specific to the human mirror-neuron system that might explain the human capacity to learn by imitation are stressed.
