Admiring Topless Girls: Good for Your Brain???


Admiring The Sun's Page 3 (UK Dailies, not 'The Sun' from Malaysia) lovelies can speed up your mental reactions, scientists say. 
The scientists discovered that looking at pics of the likes of Lacey, Keeley and Rhian makes the brain react quicker.
They experimented by showing men and women photos of naked and clothed models. So it's not all about one gender...this is good gender equality.
At the same time, the participants' electrical brain activity was monitored.
And their results showed that it takes less than 0.2 seconds to process the image of a naked body — much less than when models are fully clothed or wearing swimsuits.
This kick-starts the brain into evaluating other images faster too. Making us more brainy!!

The team's findings are good news for advertisers who use scantily-clad stunners to boost sales. (As expected!)
Brain responses are strongest to pictures of nude bodies, the second strongest to bodies in swimsuits, and the weakest to fully clothed bodies — so the fewer clothes the better.
Researchers reckon our ancestors evolved the fast response to nakedness to help them find a mate quickly.
Professor Jari Hietanen of the University of Tampere, Finland, said: "Our data shows for the first time that early visual processing of nude over clothed bodies is enhanced.

"The results show the brain boosts the processing of sexually arousing signals."
Perhaps the result of the research could be applied into treating Alzheimer disease as well? 
The findings are detailed in the journal PLoS ONE. Wow!!!! This research got into journal!
