The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Theory of Mind: A Neural Prediction Problem (2013, positive): “Patients with lesions to the STS have difficulty recognizing actions (Battelli et al., 2003; Pavlova et al., 2003), an effect that is reproduced by creating reversible “lesions” in the STS through repetitive TMS (Grossman et al., 2005).”
Mouth and Voice: A Relationship between Visual and Auditory Preference in the Human Superior Temporal Sulcus (2017, methodology): “In the visual domain, the pSTS is especially responsive to biological motion, the movement of living organisms (Puce et al., 1998; Grossman et al., 2000, 2005; Beauchamp et al., 2002, 2003; Santi et al., 2003; Pitcher et al., 2011).”
The neural basis of visual body perception (2007, background): “Recent studies using TMS have demonstrated the effects of stimulation over some of these regions on performance in various body- and action-perception task”
Spontaneous neural encoding of social network position (2017, unknown): “Although the lateral STC and SMA are implicated in biological motion processing 35 and action understanding 36 , respectively, this finding was not attributable to the amount of movement in videos (see SI).”
Perception of human motion. (2007, methodology): “Grossman et al. (2005) applied repetitive TMS to a region of the scalp overlying posterior brain regions including the superior temporal sulcus.”
