Sexy calendars and pictures of topless models in tabloid newspapers really do lead men to think of women as objects, research shows.
When men are shown images of women in bikinis, the part of the brain they use when thinking about DIY tools and other objects lights up.
At the same time, the region they use to try to tune into another person's thoughts and feelings tunes down, brain scans showed.
Her experiments also found, perhaps not surprisingly, that men remember the images of scantily-clad women better than those of fully-clothed women.
Damn science for killing all our excuses![]()
Wait a moment. This study only really shows that when men are shown a THING like a photo, the part of their brain that processes objects is active, and not the part that processes PEOPLE.
So we are now one step closer to proving that Picture != Person
In all seriousness, the lady running the study should've thought of that and rolled out topless women in the flesh and done the brain scans again. Bad science is bad.
I volunteer to run the topless women brain scan study. I can even envision the title:
Topless women and fMRI scan data variance.
The periodicals will be fighting each other for the rights to publish it.
