Key Takeaways:

• 'Atomic' actions contain meaningful internal structure
• Visual perception represents the event structure within atomic actions.
• Automatic perceptual action segmentation at brief timescales draws on both semantic knowledge and visual cues

There's a lot of fun details and experiments, including my favorite new control stimulus (which Zekun invented) - the 'spiralized stimulus' 😵‍💫🌀

Zekun asked how our visual system automatically parses brief ("atomic") actions. Strikingly, she finds that both low-level visual features (e.g., motion energy) and high-level semantics (e.g., discrete action 'phases') shape event perception during action observation

Ok I take it back. ⚾️

Agree mostly but basketball gotta be top for me no matter what.
