    Results of the biological action identification task. A, Bar plots display the proportion of correct responses for each group: CC, DC, VM, SC (for definition, see Fig. 1). Asterisk indicates significant group difference. B, Same as A but proportion correct responses separately averaged for each of the 10 actions. Shown are group mean scores; error bars indicate SEM.

    Scatter plot showing the performance of CC group in the (A) biological action identification task and (B) coherence motion detection task as a function of the duration of visual deprivation. Data points indicate single subjects. The data were fitted with a linear regression line (for definitions, see Fig. 1).

    Figure 6.

    CM thresholds. Bars display CM thresholds in each group; CC, DC, VM, SC (for definitions, see Fig. 1). The y-axis specifies the percentage of dots moving coherently to detect the CM with an accuracy of 82%. Shown are mean scores, and the error bars indicate SEM. Asterisks indicate significant group differences.
