S1-2: The Temporal Aspect of Neural Activities Underlying the Perception of Biological Motion in Infants, Children, Adults, and Patients with Developmental Disorders

It has been demonstrated that our visual system can extract rich visual information from point-light motion. Despite the fact that we can perceive human actions from point-light motion with a brief exposure, the temporal aspect of the neural activities underlying the perception of biological motion...

description It has been demonstrated that our visual system can extract rich visual information from point-light motion. Despite the fact that we can perceive human actions from point-light motion with a brief exposure, the temporal aspect of the neural activities underlying the perception of biological motion has not been well explored. In this talk, I'll introduce a series of behavioral, electroencephalography (EEG), and magnetoencephalography (MEG) studies on biological motion perception and propose a hierarchical model for its processing based on these findings. I'll then show the developmental changes of the neural responses to biological motion in infants and children and how developmental disorders such as Williams Syndrome and pervasive development disorder (PDD) alter its neural responses.
