abstract = {Previous research used animated geometric figures to
investigate social cognitive processes involved in ascribing
mental states to others (e.g. mentalizing). The relationship
between animacy perception and brain areas commonly involved
in social cognition, as well as the influence of particular
motion patterns on animacy experience, however, remains to
be further elucidated. We used a recently introduced
paradigm for the systematic variation of motion properties,
and employed functional magnetic resonance imaging to
identify the neural mechanisms underlying animacy
experience. Based on individual ratings of increased animacy
experience the following brain regions of the "social neural
network" (SNN), known to be involved in social cognitive
processes, were recruited: insula, superior temporal gyrus,
fusiform gyrus, parahippocampal gyrus and the ventromedial
prefrontal cortex bilaterally. Decreased animacy experience
was associated with increased neural activity in the
inferior parietal and inferior frontal gyrus, key
constituents of the human "mirror neuron system" (hMNS).
These findings were corroborated when analyses were based on
movement patterns alone, irrespective of subjective
experience. Additionally to the areas found for increased
animacy experience, an increase in interactive movements
elicited activity in the amygdala and the temporal pole. In
conclusion, the results suggest that the hMNS is recruited
during a low-level stage of animacy judgment representing a
basic disposition to detect the salience of movements,
whereas the SNN appears to be a high-level processing
component serving evaluation in social and mental
inference.},
