Reduced perceptual sensitivity for biological motion in paraplegia patients
development to adults. When either hormone is low, the dauer state is promoted. Insulin/IGF and TGF-b are expressed by sensory neurons in C. elegans, which couple transcription of both hormones to the environment. By contrast, downstream hormone receptors are broadly expressed, allowing for organism-wide developmental changes. Interestingly, the insulin pathway has also been linked to longevity...
متن کاملBiological Motion: A Perceptual Life Detector?
Detecting the direction of motion of other animals is critical for a variety of adaptive behaviours, including filial attachment and hunting prey. Two new studies support the view that some vertebrates, including humans, have primitive brain systems for the visual detection of other legged vertebrates.
متن کاملReduced sensitivity to minimum-jerk biological motion in autism spectrum conditions
We compared psychophysical thresholds for biological and non-biological motion detection in adults with autism spectrum conditions (ASCs) and controls. Participants watched animations of a biological stimulus (a moving hand) or a non-biological stimulus (a falling tennis ball). The velocity profile of the movement was varied between 100% natural motion (minimum-jerk (MJ) for the hand; gravitati...
متن کاملPerceptual and computational analysis of critical features for biological motion.
Among the most common events in our daily lives is seeing people in action. Scientists have accumulated evidence suggesting humans may have developed specialized mechanisms for recognizing these visual events. In the current experiments, we apply the "bubbles" technique to construct space-time classification movies that reveal the key features human observers use to discriminate biological moti...
متن کاملUnaffected Perceptual Thresholds for Biological and Non-Biological Form-from-Motion Perception in Autism Spectrum Conditions
BACKGROUND Perception of biological motion is linked to the action perception system in the human brain, abnormalities within which have been suggested to underlie impairments in social domains observed in autism spectrum conditions (ASC). However, the literature on biological motion perception in ASC is heterogeneous and it is unclear whether deficits are specific to biological motion, or migh...
