Neural representation for the perception of the intentionality of actions

T Jellema, CI Baker, B Wicker, DI Perrett - Brain and cognition, 2000 - Elsevier
A novel population of cells is described, located in the anterior part of the superior temporal
sulcus (STSa, sometimes called STPa) of the temporal lobe in the macaque monkey. These …

Neural representations of perceived bodily actions using a categorical frame of reference

T Jellema, DI Perrett - Neuropsychologia, 2006 - Elsevier
In object-centered, or categorical, visual representations of an agent's actions, the spatial
positions of (parts of) the body action are defined with respect to the principal axis of the …

A region of right posterior superior temporal sulcus responds to observed intentional actions

R Saxe, DK Xiao, G Kovacs, DI Perrett, N Kanwisher - Neuropsychologia, 2004 - Elsevier
Human adults and infants identify the actions of another agent based not only on its intrinsic

Perceptual history influences neural responses to face and body postures

T Jellema, DI Perrett - Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, 2003 - direct.mit.edu
We show that under natural viewing, the responses of cells in the temporal lobe of the
macaque to the sight of static head and body postures is controlled by the sight of …

Functional differentiation of macaque visual temporal cortical neurons using a parametric action space

J Vangeneugden, F Pollick, R Vogels - Cerebral cortex, 2009 - academic.oup.com
Neurons in the rostral superior temporal sulcus (STS) are responsive to displays of body
movements. We employed a parametric action space to determine how similarities among …

Cells in monkey STS responsive to articulated body motions and consequent static posture: a case of implied motion?

T Jellema, DI Perrett - Neuropsychologia, 2003 - Elsevier
We show that populations of visually responsive cells in the anterior part of the superior
temporal sulcus (STSa) of the macaque monkey code for the sight of both specific articulated …

Frameworks of analysis for the neural representation of animate objects and actions

DI Perrett, MH Harries, R Bevan… - Journal of …, 1989 - journals.biologists.com
ABSTRACT A variety of cell types exist in the temporal cortex providing high-level visual
descriptions of bodies and their movements. We have investigated the sensitivity of such …

Grasping the intentions of others: the perceived intentionality of an action influences activity in the superior temporal sulcus during social perception

KA Pelphrey, JP Morris… - Journal of cognitive …, 2004 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
An explication of the neural substrates for social perception is an important component in the

Movement intention is better predicted than attention in the posterior parietal cortex

RQ Quiroga, LH Snyder, AP Batista, H Cui… - Journal of …, 2006 - Soc Neuroscience
We decoded on a trial-by-trial basis the location of visual targets, as a marker of the locus of
