İnsan Eylemlerini Algılama, Önemi ve Nöral Temelleri.

A fundamental skill possessed by all animals, including humans, is the ability to perceive and recognize the movements and actions of other living beings in their environment. Neurophysiological and neuroimaging studies conducted to date have largely identified the brain regions that are important and necessary for perceiving the actions of other beings in our surroundings. However, the majority of these studies have examined the perception of actions under selective attention tasks. In other words, the stimuli depicting human actions were the focus of attention, and participants performed tasks related to the movements and actions they observed. However, in daily life, human movements that are not the focus of our attention can still attract our attention due to their social or vital significance and can be automatically perceived outside of selective attention. This review article discusses studies that examine how the brain processes human movements in situations where they are not the focus of attention, shedding light on new scientific questions in the field. These questions include the temporal dimensions of how human actions will be processed when they are not the focus of attention, whether different human actions have different attention-capturing capacities, whether human action studies conducted in natural settings with high ecological validity yield different results from studies conducted in the laboratory environment, and how clinical populations who have impaired biological motion perception skills behave when attention processes are also taken into account.
