Crowding of biological motion stimuli.
It is difficult to identify a target in the peripheral visual field when it is flanked by distractors. In the present study, we investigated this "crowding" effect for biological motion stimuli. Three walking biological motion stimuli were presented horizontally in the periphery with various distances between them, and observers reported the walking direction of the central figure. When the int...
متن کاملCreating stimuli for the study of biological-motion perception.
In the perception of biological motion, the stimulus information is confined to a small number of lights attached to the major joints of a moving person. Despite this drastic degradation of the stimulus information, the human visual apparatus organizes the swarm of moving dots into a vivid percept of a moving biological creature. Several techniques have been proposed to create point-light stimu...
متن کاملInverting the Facing-the-Viewer Bias for Biological Motion Stimuli
Depth-ambiguous point-light walkers are most frequently seen as facing-the-viewer (FTV). It has been argued that the FTV bias depends on recognising the stimulus as a person. Accordingly, reducing the social relevance of biological motion by presenting stimuli upside down has been shown to reduce FTV bias. Here, we replicated the experiment that reported this finding and added stick figure walk...
متن کاملForm overshadows ‘opponent motion’ information in processing of biological motion from point light walker stimuli
The point light walker (PLW) has been taken to demonstrate the existence of mechanisms specialised in the processing of biological motion, but the roles of form and motion information in such processing remain unclear. While processing is robust to distortion and exclusion of the local motion signals of the individual elements of the PLW, the motion relationships between the elements - referred...
متن کاملThe "motion silencing" illusion results from global motion and crowding.
Suchow and Alvarez (2011) recently devised a striking illusion, where objects changing in color, luminance, size, or shape appear to stop changing when they move. They refer to the illusion as "motion silencing of awareness to visual change." Here we present evidence that the illusion results from two perceptual processes: global motion and crowding. We adapted Suchow and Alvarez's stimulus to ...
