Theory of Mind: A Neural Prediction Problem (2013, neutral): “…are implicated in many aspects of social action perception, showing robust responses to face and body action in both humans (Jellema et al., 2000; Puce et al., 1998; Bonda et al., 1996; Allison et al., 2002) and monkeys (Perrett et al., 1985; Jellema and Perrett, 2003b; Jellema and Perrett, 2003a).”
Cells in monkey STS responsive to articulated body motions and consequent static posture: a case of implied motion? (2003, background): “Video stimuli consisted of both monkeys and people; most cells do not discriminate between these two species (Perrett et al., 1985b).”
Neural representation for the perception of the intentionality of actions. (2000, methodology): “A recording chamber was implanted under pentobarbitol (Sagatal) anesthesia (with full sterile precautions; see Perrett et al., 1985a for details).”
Grasping the Intentions of Others: The Perceived Intentionality of an Action Influences Activity in the Superior Temporal Sulcus during Social Perception (2004, background): “(2003), Figure 7 of Puce et al. (1998), and Figure 1 of McCarthy et al.”
An fMRI study of intentional and unintentional (embarrassing) violations of social norms. (2002, background): “This area has also been found to be highly sensitive to rotational movement, as well as visual and biological motion (Perrett et al., 1985; Bonda et al., 1996; Oram and Perrett, 1996; Puce et al., 1998; Grezes et al., 1999).”
Social and emotional attachment in the neural representation of faces (2004, unknown): “…a general role in social cognition that is related more to the representation of the intentions of others (Allison et al., 2000; Hoffman and Haxby, 2000; Perrett et al., 1985; Puce and Perrett, 2003; Winston et al., 2002) and less to the representation of personal traits (Mitchell et al., 2002).”
Neural representation of action sequences: how far can a simple snippet-matching model take us? (2013, background): “STS neurons have been found to be selective for specific combinations of form and motion [3, 11].”
Eight Problems for the Mirror Neuron Theory of Action Understanding in Monkeys and Humans (2009, background): “…turning, movement into or out of view, arm movements, and hand–object interaction where there is selectivity for specific actions including reaching, retrieving, manipulating, picking, tearing, presenting to the monkey, and holding (Perrett, Mistlin, Harries, & Chitty, 1990; Perrett et al., 1985).”

The Development and Neural Bases of Face Recognition (2001, background): “…polysensory area (the superior TPO), areas TEa and TEm of the inferior temporal (IT) cortex (e.g. Rolls and Baylis, 1986; Baylis et al., 1987; Yamane et al., 1988), and along the ventral bank of the superior temporal sulcus (STS) (e.g. Perrett et al., 1982, 1984, 1985; Perrett and Mistlin, 1990).”
Action bank: A high-level representation of activity in video (2012, background): “[27] discovered that neurons in the superior temporal sulcus of the macaque monkey brain were selective to certain types of mammalian motion, such as head rotation.”
Perception of human motion. (2007, methodology): “The first neurophysiological evidence for the existence of a brain area visually coding human movement came from the work of Perrett et al. (1982, 1985).”
