Disentangling dynamic information and temporal order processing of human action perception.

ABSTRACT: Human action perception involves processing dynamic information in its temporal order. However, previous studies investigating action perception have not yet distinguished between the presence of dynamic information and the temporal order in which dynamic information unfolds within the context of a single action. Using 3-T functional MRI, we presented participants with brief, single-actor, whole-body actions viewed either as still images, as intact videos, or as videos consisting of short dynamic fragments with the order temporally scrambled. Regions classically associated with action perception showed higher activity for dynamic compared with still stimuli, regardless of the temporal continuity in the dynamic stimuli. However, two clusters in the right inferior parietal lobule (IPL) diffe
