The processing of observed biological motion that is the movement of biological organisms
has an important role in animals' vigilance and survival. For humans, it is also implicated in …

Human body movements provide important information about the intentions and emotions of
others, and growing evidence suggests that we understand others' mental states by …

Performance in detection tasks can be improved by directing attention to task-relevant
features. In this study, we evaluate the direction tuning of selective attention to motion …

The execution of motor behavior influences concurrent visual action observation and
especially the perception of biological motion. The neural mechanisms underlying this …

Detecting biological motion is essential for adaptive social behavior. Previous research has
revealed the brain processes underlying this ability. However, brain activity during biological …

Perceptual load theory argues that attention is a limited resource and stimuli cannot be
processed if there is insufficient perceptual capacity available. Although attention is known …

Allocation of attention during goal-directed behavior entails simultaneous processing of
relevant and attenuation of irrelevant information. How the brain delegates such processes …

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 …

Question Oscillatory brain activity in specific frequency bands has been related to cognitive
processes such as attention (Foxe and Snyder (2011) Front Psychology 2: 154). While in the …

Introduction It is widely believed that we are more attentive towards moving versus static
stimuli. However, the neural correlates underlying the perception of human movements have …
