The dataset of the article titled "Dogs Spontaneously Extract Human Social Cues from Biological Motion"

To explore whether dogs can spontaneously recognize the walking direction of biological motion (BM), we presented four types of stimuli (human walking BM, dog walking BM, human head-turning videos, and human walking videos) to dogs and recorded their behaviors and coded the dogs’ head directions trial by trial. The uploaded folder contains two subfolders. In "Data & Analysis" subfolder, the' Data. xlsx 'file mainly contains raw encoded data, filtered data, and organized data for analysis.

The 'DogAnalysis. m' file provides the analysis code, and the 'DogData. mat' file contains the processed dataset used for analysis. In "Stimuli" subfolder, there are stimuli for biological motion stimuli and video stimuli. The video stimuli have two versions for males and females, but due to authorization issues, only the male version with facial masking is uploaded here.
