Recent advances in machine learning have dramatically improved our ability to model language, vision, and other high-dimensional data, yet they continue to struggle with one of the most fundamental aspects of biological systems: movement. Across neuroscience, medicine, robotics, and ethology, movement is essential for…

Natural movement is clearly related to health, however, it is also highly complex and difficult to measure. Most attempts to measure it focus on functional movements in humans, and while this a valid and popular approach, assays focussed on particular movements cannot capture the range of natural movement that occurs…

There is significant clinical evidence showing that creative and expressive movement processes involved in dance/movement therapy (DMT) enhance psycho-social well-being. Yet, because movement is a complex phenomenon, statistically validating which aspects of movement change during interventions or lead to significant…

The paper discusses two opposite understandings of how the kinaesthetic experience of movement translates into the development of subjectivity. One of them, in which somatically experienced movement is regarded as a positive source of authentic self-fashioning, will be described within the framework of phenomenology.…

'Konrad P. Körding'] Over the last decade, computer science has made progress towards extracting body pose from single camera photographs or videos. This promises to enable movement science to detect disease, quantify movement performance, and take the science out of the lab into the real world. However, current pose…

Creativity represents an important feature in a variety of daily-life and domain-specific contexts. Recent evidence indicates that physical movement serves as a key resource for exploring and generating task-relevant creative ideas, supporting the embodied perspective on creative cognition. An intuitive link between…

The rise of non-linear and interactive media such as video games has increased the need for automatic movement animation generation. In this survey, we review and analyze different aspects of building automatic movement generation systems using machine learning techniques and motion capture data. We cover topics such…

Humans recognize movements effortlessly, even from noisy and complex visual input. But what information in the stimulus allows humans to rapidly classify movements? No framework has systematically compared different strategies of movement analysis to address this question. Here, we used videos of 16 daily activities…

'Chancharik Mitra' 'Tiffany Ling' 'Yuhan Huang' 'Sifan Liu' 'Mingyu Chen' 'Rushikesh Zawar' 'Xue Bai' 'Yilun Du' 'Chuang Gan' 'Deva Ramanan'] We introduce CameraBench, a large-scale dataset and benchmark designed to assess and improve camera motion understanding. CameraBench consists of ∼3,000 diverse internet videos…

'Daniel C. Richardson'] Title: Abstract When two people move in synchrony, they become more social. Yet it is not clear how this effect scales up to larger numbers of people. Does a group need to move in unison to affiliate, in what we term unitary synchrony; or does affiliation arise from distributed coordination…

'Christina B. Reimer' 'Torsten Schubert' 'Marion Lauschke'] To evoke the impression of movement in the “immobile” image is one of the central motivations of the visual art, and the activating effect of images has been discussed in art psychology already some 100 years ago. However, this topic has up to now been largely…

The brain’s distributed architecture has inspired numerous artificial intelligence (AI) systems, particularly through its neocortical organization. However, current AI approaches largely over-look a crucial aspect of biological intelligence: active sensing – the deliberate movement of sensory organs to explore the…

Proper interpretation of visual information requires capturing the structural regularities in the visual signal and this frequently occurs in conjunction with movement. Perceptual interpretation is complicated both by transient perceptual changes that accompany motor activity, and as found in audition and…

Detecting a moving object against a moving background is fundamental to survival. The retina is known to perform this computation, extracting object motion from global motion before signals reach the brain. Under the prevailing hierarchical view of vision, downstream areas should inherit and elaborate this retinal…

Motion is an important signal for agents in dynamic environments, but learning to represent motion from unlabeled video is a difficult and underconstrained problem. We propose a model of motion based on elementary group properties of transformations and use it to train a representation of image motion. While most…

Synchronization has been identified as a key aspect of achieving mutual goals and enhancing social bonding. While synchronization could be maximized by increasing the predictability of an interaction, such predictability is in tension with individuals’ level of interest, which is tied to the interaction’s complexity…

The semi-rigid structure of bodies forces animals to move in rhythmic patterns shared by all creatures with skeletons, exoskeletons, or limb connections. This pattern, known as biological motion, is instantly recognizable and conveys “animacy,” even when body shape is removed and only a cloud of moving dots is shown.…

Mechanically-interlocked molecules (MIMs) are at the basis of artificial molecular machines and are attracting increasing interest for various applications, from catalysis to drug delivery and nanoelectronics. MIMs are composed of mechanically-interconnected molecular sub-parts that can move with respect to each other…

'Francisco Javier Huertas-Delgado' 'Manuel Herrador-Colmenero'] The roles of physical activity and the reduction in sedentary activities in the healthy physical, psychosocial and mental development of children and adolescents are undisputed. This is where the concept of Moving School comes in, which has been expanded…

Human motion analysis and understanding has been, and is still, the focus of attention of many disciplines which is considered an obvious indicator of the wide and massive importance of the subject. The purpose of this article is to shed some light on this very important subject, so it can be a good insight for a…

'Hesheng Wang'] Abstract— Moving object segmentation plays a vital role in understanding dynamic visual environments. While existing methods rely on multi-frame image sequences to identify moving objects, single-image MOS is critical for applications like motion intention prediction and handling camera frame drops.…

Molecules in gas and liquid states, as well as in solution, exhibit significant and random Brownian motion. Molecules in the solid-state, although strongly immobilized, can still exhibit significant intramolecular dynamics. However, in most framework materials, these intramolecular dynamics are driven by temperature…

Supramolecular transition metal catalysts with tailored reaction environments allow for the usage of abundant 3d metals as catalytic centres, leading to more sustainable chemical processes. However, such catalysts are large and flexible systems with intricate interactions, resulting in complex reaction coordinates. To…

Machines have continually developed with the needs of daily life and industrial applications. While the careful design of molecular-scale devices often displays enhanced properties along with mechanical movements, controlling mechanics within solid-state molecular structures remains a significant challenge. Here, we…

In zero-gap CO2 electrolyzers, maintaining the balance of water and cations is crucial. Excessive accumulation at the cathode causes performance degradation, leading to flooding and salt precipitation. Using operando wide-angle X-ray scattering and X-ray fluorescence techniques, we observed the dynamic evolution of H2O…

In this work, we present a fully automated method for the construction of chemically meaningful sets of non-redundant internal coordinates (also commonly denoted as Z-matrices) from the cartesian coordinates of a molecular system. Particular focus is placed on avoiding ill-definitions of angles and dihedrals due to…
