A Generalized Life-Motion Mechanism Supports Invariant Directional Coding of Local Biological Kinematics in Humans

2026-03-16

Abstract excerpt

Humans can detect biological motion (BM) from sparse local kinematic cues, yet whether the visual system encodes directional information in a category-invariant manner remains unresolved. Here we combined a visual adaptation paradigm with computational modelling to reveal direction-sensitive neural mechanisms specialized for local biological kinematics. Adapting to a side-view scrambled point-light walker produced...
