One technique previously used to explore the underlying stimulus structure of biological motion attaches glass-bead retroreflectant tape to the joints of humans, focuses bright lights on them and video records their movements. The contrast of the image is turned up and the brightness down so that only a system of moving point-lights is seen. The technique in important because it deprives the stimulus of familiarity cues that could be used for recognition, but does little to the potency of the percept. The viewer sees the formless invariant relations of the display, which are readily interpretable as a human figure in motion. The study of gait perception was advanced through the simultaneous study of gait synthesis using a computer.
