Abstract
Body form and body motion processing are dissociable in the visual pathways.
Highlights
The human body is a salient communicator of social information, such as aggression, intention, and affective state
The authors used a combination of functional magnetic resonance imaging, psychophysics, and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to address this question
They tackled the issue of extra-striate body area (EBA)/hMT+ overlap by localizing each region of interest (ROI)
Summary
The human body is a salient communicator of social information, such as aggression, intention, and affective state. The purpose of their investigation was to explore whether the neural mechanisms that process body form and motion cues are dissociable. Voxels selective for both bodies and motion in both ROIs (and so would be included in both EBA and hMT+) were excluded from further analysis (at least from the fMRI portion of the study).
