To give you a better idea of the concept of biological motion, view this short introductory video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FAAyB5jGx_4. Then go to this website

https://www.biomotionlab.ca/bml-rating/

and participate in the BML Rating demonstration on biological motion perception (fill in the attribute as gender and use from male to female). You should complete at least 50 trials to get an accurate representation of your ability to detect gender in biological motion. After you have watched the video and participated in the demo, describe how humans perceive biological motion.

Be sure and discuss the brain activity and physiological basis of detecting biological motion using research depicted in your textbook. What do you think of the research?

How did it feel to be a subject in the experiment demos? Did you think it was easy or difficult to detect gender in biological motion? Why do you think detecting biological motion is so important to our brains?

Discussion posts should be at least 400
