This study estimates the duration of Temporal Integration Windows (TIWs) in visual perception from infancy to adulthood, finding a sevenfold reduction in TIW duration.

The paper shows that accelerating visual information flow in adults mimics infant vision, reducing fine-grained object distinctions while preserving general object representations.

The paper shows that animacy categorization persists in humans and DNNs even with severely impoverished visual stimuli, indicating early and robust neural representation of animacy.

The paper uses EEG to show that humans accurately distinguish animate from inanimate objects, even when objects resemble animals, and that this ability is not affected by the degree of animal-like appearance.

The paper investigates how dynamic cues like synchrony and common fate influence the perception of biological group movements, finding that synchrony enhances grouping while common fate does not.

The paper demonstrates that left EBA activity causally supports efficient visual perception of social interactions through fMRI, behavioral, and TMS experiments.

The paper introduces EEG movement tagging to objectively measure biological motion perception, showing distinct brain responses at different frequencies related to global and local processing.

This study investigates how infants categorize objects and finds an incremental development of visual object categorization from 4 to 19 months, with milestones based on saliency and animate-inanimate distinctions.

The paper investigates how the brain processes minimal social scenes of two face-to-face bodies, finding specialized neural and behavioral markers similar to face perception.

The paper investigates how spatial relationships between bodies affect visual perception, finding that face-to-face positioning enhances neural grouping of bodies.

The paper shows that facing-body stimuli enhance neural activity in visual areas processing body motion and spatial relations, improving perceptual accuracy and functional integration.

The paper shows that human visual cortex encodes spatial relations between bodies, with specific sensitivity to facing vs. non-facing configurations, affecting body perception and representation.
