2. 1. From Motion to Movements : Revelations by the Infant EEG

   Author : Pär Nyström; Claes von Hofsten; Riitta Hari; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : Psychology; infant; brain; EEG; mirror neurons; ERP; ICA; MNS; Psykologi;

   Abstract : The introduction of high density EEG (hd-EEG) nets for easy application on subjects of all ages has improved the possibilities to investigate the development of the infant neurophysiology. This dissertation consists of three studies (I – III) that investigate the visual motion system and mirror neuron system of the infant, and methodological sections that outline the bioelectrical background and the characteristics of the methods used.

6. 4. Social causality in motion : Visual bias and categorization of social interactions during the observation of chasing in infancy

   Author : Martyna A. Galazka; Pär Nyström; Gustaf Gredebäck; Moritz Daum; Uppsala universitet; []

   Abstract : Since the seminal work of Fritz Heider and Marienne Simmel (1944) the study of animacy perception, or the perception and attribution of life from the motion of simple geometrical shapes has intrigued researchers. The intrigue for psychologists and vision scientists then and today centered on the stark disconnect between the simplicity of the visual input and the universal richness of the resulting percept.
