title: Perception of biological motion.
abstract: Boundary conditions for perception of biological motion were explored with the use of computer-generated point-light animation sequences. Perception of this unique form of structure from motion is immune to variations in dot contrast polarity, dot disparity, and spatial-frequency filtering. Biological motion is perceived in texture-defined animation sequences that presumably stimulate only second-order motion pathways, and it is undisturbed by dichoptic presentation of portions of the animation tokens separately to the two eyes.
