Encoding and recognition of biological motion: An event related potential study
Daniel Jokisch, Thomas H. Kress, Irene Daum, Nikolaus F. Troje · 2001
The human visual system is very sensitive to the detection of animate motion patterns. We can efficiently detect another living being in a visual scene, recognize human action patterns and attribute many features of psychological, biological and social relevance to other persons. An experimental approach for studying information from biological motion (BM) with reduced interference from non dynamic cues is to represent the main joints of a person's body by bright dots against a dark background.
