Extracting meaning from motion

该项目旨在了解人类视觉系统如何使用运动信号来检测其他人和非人类动物的存在。这个问题将视觉科学与社会经验联系起来，并将使用严格的方法来研究人类视觉，结合交互式运动的3D图形建模来解决。预期的成果包括对如何从大脑中的运动信号中提取丰富的社会信息的理论理解，以及引入测试个人社会感知的新技术。预计这将为临床神经科学，计算机视觉和交互式机器人技术的研究提供知识和方法工具。

This project aims to understand how the human visual system uses motion signals to detect the presence of other people and nonhuman animals. This question links vision science to social experience, and will be addressed using rigorous methods for studying human vision combined with 3D graphical modelling of interactive motion. The expected outcomes include an improved theoretical understanding of how rich, social information is extracted from motion signals in the brain and the introduction of new techniques for testing an individual's social perception. This is expected to provide the knowledge and methodological tools to progress research in clinical neuroscience, computer vision, and interactive robotics.
