The paper dissociates cortical selectivity for body movements and shapes using optical flow analysis and fMRI, showing motion cues are distinct from shape cues in specific brain regions.

This study uses fMRI to show that occipitotemporal cortex encodes biomechanically possible and impossible movements, with different regions processing detailed biomechanical features versus abstract categorical information.

The paper shows that the human cortex distinguishes naturalistic body motion from objects at the P2 stage, with similar body-specific modulation across human and monkey stimuli.

The paper tests if social predictions during observation of interactions influence perception of emotional expressions, finding behavioral and neural evidence for this effect.

The paper investigates theta activity in response to body images, finding a species-specific neural response to human bodies.

The paper investigates how emotion and gender influence awareness using visual masking and body images, finding that threatening expressions are more detectable, especially by males viewing male stimuli.

This study identifies distinct temporo-occipital nodes with different connectivity patterns related to action perception using fMRI and independent component analysis.

This study uses VR-EEG-ECG to show that social threat perception occurs early in processing, while control ability relates to later cognitive evaluation.

The paper investigates the relationship between perceptual awareness, emotional recognition, and pupillary responses to social threat using continuous flash suppression and a perceptual awareness scale.

This study identifies a brain network specific to human body perception using fMRI and ICA analysis, showing species selectivity in key regions.

This study uses fMRI and encoding models to show that the EBA represents body stimuli through a combination of low-level visual features and postural features.

This study uses fMRI to investigate whether perceptual awareness is gradual or dichotomous, finding gradual patterns in temporal areas and dichotomous patterns in fronto-parietal regions.

This study uses 7 Tesla MRI to find structural brain reductions in congenitally blind individuals compared to sighted controls, including grey and white matter changes across multiple brain regions.

This study investigates how task demands affect brain activity patterns in response to body expressions using fMRI and multivariate analysis.

This study investigates how subjective understanding of actions and emotions involves the semantic and action observation networks using fMRI and word embeddings.

The paper shows cultural differences in how early sensory areas process congruent vs. incongruent audiovisual emotion expressions during perception tasks.

The paper investigates how specific movement features, particularly limb contraction, relate to brain processes involved in fear perception using representational similarity and multi-voxel pattern analysis.

The paper investigates how first-person perspective training modulates cortical networks involved in threat detection in human peripersonal space, showing enhanced synchronization and connectivity in specific brain regions.

The paper investigates whether emotional expressions from faces, bodies, and voices are represented as abstract categories or sensory-specific representations in the brain using fMRI and multivariate analysis.

The paper uses 7T fMRI to show pulvinar input to V1 superficial layers mediates threat anticipation, not just threat perception.

The paper uses fMRI to study brain activity in children, adolescents, and adults while viewing emotional body movements, finding no age differences in emotion modulation of body-selective areas.

This study investigates gender-specific brain activation patterns when viewing paintings of male and female bodies, revealing distinct neural responses in brain regions associated with emotion, touch, and reward.
