Anthropomorphic pivotable upper seatback support

A vehicle seating assembly, comprising:

• a lower seat support and a seatback structure extending upwardly relative the lower seat support, the lower seat support and the seatback structure defining a seat H-point at a reclining axis of a connection between the seatback structure and the lower seat support and the seatback structure having an upper seatback support, a lower seatback support, and a split between the upper seatback support and the lower seatback support, wherein the split generally defining a laterally extending line that is disposed between 270 and 300 mm above the H-point;
• a pivot rotatably supported on the seatback structure proximate and substantially parallel to the splint, the pivot rotatably coupled to the upper seatback support, whereby the upper seatback support pivots about the pivot between a rearward position and a forward position relative the lower seatback support;
• and
• a motorized actuation assembly disposed within the seatback structure and operably coupled to the upper seatback support, wherein the motorized actuation assembly pivots the upper seatback support about the pivot between the rearward position and the forward position.
