From Biological Motion to Real-World Interaction: Rethinking the Action Perception System

2026-07-14

Abstract excerpt

<p>Action perception is one of the most extensively studied domains of social cognition. Over the last five decades, research employing point-light biological motion displays, animated agents, and videos of human actions has generated a sophisticated understanding of how actions are recognized and represented in the brain. However, most of this knowledge derives from studies that rely on depictions of actions rath...
