Form and motion make independent contributions to the response to biological motion in occipitotemporal cortex

► Form and motion both contribute to the fMRI response to biological motion in LOTC. ► The contribution of motion is highly position-dependent, with a contralateral bias. ► Only form contributes to biological motion responses in VOTC, with a foveal bias. ► Suggest a flexible cue integration mechanism for the perception of human actions.
