Inverted dancer (IMAGE)
Caption
Emily Brumbaugh, a 2014 University of Wyoming graduate, participates in a vertical dance performance. Qin Zhu, a UW professor of kinesiology and health, and Margaret Wilson, professor and head of the UW Department of Theatre and Dance, were part of a study that shows that people with extended visuomotor experience with inverted movements -- such as vertical dancers -- can overcome the inversion effect in perceiving biological motion. Results were recently published in the journal Scientific Reports.
