Perception of biological motion: a stimulus set of human point-light actions

Behav Res Methods Instrum Comput. 2004 Nov;36(4):625-9. doi: 10.3758/bf03206542.

Abstract

We present a set of stimuli representing human actions under point-light conditions, as seen from different viewpoints. The set contains 22 fairly short, well-delineated, and visually "loopable" actions. For each action, we provide movie files from five different viewpoints as well as a text file with the three spatial coordinates of the point lights, allowing researchers to construct customized versions. The full set of stimuli may be downloaded from www.psychonomic.org/archive/.
