Theory of Mind: A Neural Prediction Problem (2013, positive): “However one pattern of results is consistent with the idea that the STS contains predictions of upcoming biological motion: still photographs of a person in mid-motion (such as a discus thrower in the middle of throwing a disc) elicited more activity in the STS than images that do not imply or predi”
The case for motor involvement in perceiving conspecifics. (2005, background): “…is that stimuli that imply motion and moving stimuli that become occluded activate areas of the brain that process real motion, such as area MT (Kourtzi & Kanwisher, 2000; Olson, Gatenby, Leung, Skudlarski, & Gore, 2003; Senior et al., 2000), and furthermore, disruption of these brain areas by…”
Moving words: dynamic representations in language comprehension (2004, background): “Still pictures of animate entities in motion generate more activity in the medial temporal cortex, a brain region involved in motion perception, than do pictures of those same entities in a stationary position ( Kourtzi & Kanwisher, 2000 ).”
Poselet Key-Framing: A Model for Human Activity Recognition (2013, background): “Further, in perception, it has long been shown that certain discriminant static images of humans engaged in activity can convey dynamic information (an effect known as implied motion [15]1).”
Neural systems behind word and concept retrieval. (2004, background): “…has been reliably associated with the detection of movement (Corbetta, Miezin, Dobmeyer, Shulman, & Petersen, 1990; Damasio et al., 2001; David & Senior, 2000; Kable, Lease-Spellmeyer, & Chatterjee, 2002; Kourtzi & Kanwisher, 2000; Senior et al., 2000; Watson et al., 1993; Zeki et al., 1991).”
Observing Human-Object Interactions: Using Spatial and Functional Compatibility for Recognition (2009, background): “…interpretation of human-object interactions, that integrates information from perceptual tasks such as scene analysis, human motion/pose estimation,1 manipulable object detection, and “object reaction” determination.2 While each of these tasks can be conducted independently, recognition rates…”
Representing and anticipating human actions in vision (2002, background): “…studies have shown that brain regions involved in the perceptual processing of motion like MT/MST are also activated when people view pictures with implied motion (Kourtzi & Kanwisher, 2000; Peigneux et al., 2000; Senior et al., 2000; see Senior, Ward, & David, this issue, for a related TMS study).”
