Brain Areas Active during Visual Perception of Biological Motion
Theories of vision posit that form and motion are represented by neural mechanisms segregated into functionally and anatomically distinct pathways. Using point-light animations of biological motion, we examine the extent to which form and motion pathways are mutually involved in perceiving figures depicted by the spatio-temporal integration of local motion components. Previous work discloses th...
متن کاملBrain areas involved in perception of biological motion.
These experiments use functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to reveal neural activity uniquely associated with perception of biological motion. We isolated brain areas activated during the viewing of point-light figures, then compared those areas to regions known to be involved in coherent-motion perception and kinetic-boundary perception. Coherent motion activated a region matching prev...
متن کاملPerception of biological motion in visual agnosia
Over the past 25 years, visual processing has been discussed in the context of the dual stream hypothesis consisting of a ventral ("what") and a dorsal ("where") visual information processing pathway. Patients with brain damage of the ventral pathway typically present with signs of visual agnosia, the inability to identify and discriminate objects by visual exploration, but show normal percepti...
متن کاملMotion Perception Thresholds In Areas of Glaucomatous Visual Field Loss
This study examined whether one can differentiate between areas of known visual field loss and areas of known relative field sparing in eyes with primary open angle glaucoma using motion coherence thresholds. Two visual field locations from patients with primary open angle glaucoma (n = 14), which differed significantly in sensitivity, were selected for presentation of a motion stimulus. In the...
متن کاملSensory and Motor Brain Areas Supporting Biological Motion Perception: Neuropsychological and Neuroimaging Studies
Perceiving and interpreting another individual’s movements and actions is one of the most fundamental processes for an organism’s survival and well-being. Whether the process is one of tracking and hunting prey, detecting and avoiding predators, learning to solve a problem from observation, or inferring and acting in accordance with social cues, in many biologically relevant situations, organis...
