| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Body is an important medium of communication for both humans and nonhuman animals, and the exact perception of body postures and movements is an ecologically important function of our visual systems. In this study, I investigated whether the perceptual properties of body information are shared between species with different locomotion patterns and biomechanical constraints of body part movements. The results of behavioral experiments in primate and avian species revealed a shared configural body processing mechanism between humans and nonhuman animals and also species differences in properties of spatiotemporal integration of visual elements, sensitivities to biomechanical constraints, and behavioral response properties to different biological motion patterns.
