Segmenting sign language into motor primitives with Bayesian binning
Abstract:

The endpoint trajectories of human movements fulfill characteristic power laws linking velocity and curvature. The parameters of these power laws typically vary between different segments of longer action sequences. These parameters might thus be exploited for the unsupervised segmentation of actions into movement primitives. For the example of sign language we investigate whether such segments can be identified by Bayesian binning, using a Gaussian observation model whose mean has a polynomial time dependence. We show that this method yields good segmentation and correctly models ground-truth data composed of segments obeying power laws correctly models ground truth kinematics composed of consecutive segments derived from wrist trajectories recorded from users of Israeli Sign Language. Importantly, polynomial orders between 3 and 5 yield an optimal trade-off between complexity and accuracy of the trajectory approximation, in accordance with the minimum acceleration and minimum jerk models. Comparing the orders of the polynomials best approximating natural kinematics against those needed to fit the power law ground truth data suggests that kinematic properties not compatible with power laws are also not adequately represented by low order polynomials and require higher order polynomials for a good approximation.

Neural theory for the perception of causal actions
Abstract:

The efficient prediction of the behavior of others requires the recognition of their actions and an understanding of their action goals. In humans, this process is fast and extremely robust, as demonstrated by classical experiments showing that human observers reliably judge causal relationships and attribute interactive social behavior to strongly simplified stimuli consisting of simple moving geometrical shapes. While psychophysical experiments have identified critical visual features that determine the perception of causality and agency from such stimuli, the underlying detailed neural mechanisms remain largely unclear, and it is an open question why humans developed this advanced visual capability at all. We created pairs of naturalistic and abstract stimuli of hand actions that were exactly matched in terms of their motion parameters. We show that varying critical stimulus parameters for both stimulus types leads to very similar modulations of the perception of causality. However, the additional form information about the hand shape and its relationship with the object supports more fine-grained distinctions for the naturalistic stimuli. Moreover, we show that a physiologically plausible model for the recognition of goal-directed hand actions reproduces the observed dependencies of causality perception on critical stimulus parameters. These results support the hypothesis that selectivity for abstract action stimuli might emerge from the same neural mechanisms that underlie the visual processing of natural goal-directed action stimuli. Furthermore, the model proposes specific detailed neural circuits underlying this visual function, which can be evaluated in future experiments.

Spatiotemporal Tuning of the Facilitation of Biological Motion Perception by Concurrent Motor Execution
Abstract:

The execution of motor behavior influences concurrent visual action observation and especially the perception of biological motion. The neural mechanisms underlying this interaction between perception and motor execution are not exactly known. In addition, the available experimental evidence is partially inconsistent because previous studies have reported facilitation as well as impairments of action perception by concurrent execution. Exploiting a novel virtual reality paradigm, we investigated the spatiotemporal tuning of the influence of motor execution on the perception of biological motion within a signal-detection task.Humanobservers were presented with point-light stimuli that were controlled by their own movements. Participants had to detect a point-light arm in a scrambled mask, either while executing waving movements or without concurrent motor execution (baseline). The temporal and spatial coherence between the observed and executed movements was parametrically varied. We found a systematic tuning of the facilitatory versus inhibitory influences of motor execution on biological motion detection with respect to the temporal and the spatial congruency between observed and executed movements. Specifically, we found a gradual transition between facilitatory and inhibitory interactions for decreasing temporal synchrony and spatial congruency. This result provides evidence for a spatiotemporally highly selective coupling between dynamic motor representations and neural structures involved in the visual processing of biological motion. In addition, our study offers a unifying explanation that reconciles contradicting results about modulatory effects of motor execution on biological motion perception in previous studies.

Modelling Spike Trains and Extracting Response Latency with Bayesian Binning
Abstract:

The peristimulus time histogram (PSTH) and the spike density function (SDF) are commonly used in the analysis of neurophysiological data. The PSTH is usually obtained by binning spike trains, the SDF being a (Gaussian) kernel smoothed version of the PSTH. While selection of the bin width or kernel size is often relatively arbitrary there have been recent attempts to remedy this situation. We further develop an exact Bayesian generative model approach to estimating PSTHs and demonstate its superiority to competing methods using data from early (LGN) and late (STSa) visual areas. We also highlight the advantages of our scheme’s automatic complexity control and generation of error bars. Additionally, our approach allows extraction of excitatory and inhibitory response latency from spike trains in a principled way, both on repeated and single trial data. We show that the method can be applied to data with high background firing rates and inhibitory responses (LGN) as well as to data with low firing rate and excitatory responses (STSa). Furthermore, we demonstrate on simulated data that our latency extraction method works for a range of signal-to-noise ratios and background firing rates. While further studies are needed to examine the sensitivity of our method to, for example, gradual changes in firing rate and adaptation, the current results suggest that Bayesian binning is a powerful method for the estimation of firing rate and the extraction response latency from neuronal spike trains.
