Researchers at the University of Tampere and Aalto University showed volunteer men and women photos of models in varying stages of undress.
Before all you women in sensible shoes cry sexist pig!, I hasten to add the models also were male and female.
The volunteers electrical brain activity was monitored.
Results appear in the current edition of the science journal PLoS One.
They make me proud to work for this newspaper, to share space with such brain food as the SUNshine Girl.
Professor Jari Hietanen reports the less clothes the models wore, the quicker each volunteers grey matter kicked into action.
This may have roots in how our cave-man ancestor identified a potential mate. It was easier if they were naked.
In less than 0.2 seconds, the brain processes pictures of nude bodies more efficiently than clothed bodies, Professor Hietanen says.
Responses were the strongest when the participants looked at (nudes), the second strongest to bodies in swimsuits, and the weakest to fully clothed bodies.

No, she’s not nekid
I couldn’t afford to be an overseas explorer so I was just improving my mind by the National Geo. Then, in 1953 a whole new educational source opened up, when Hefner started Playboy and my IQ jumped.
It was totally shocking. I hadn’t known that all women’s bodies weren’t black, brown, or ivory.
To whom?
OH come on, did you have to go and ruin it by interjecting logic?
I’m learning already.
Sure, just as soon as I figure out to make a photo take its clothes off.

Those are wiser words than many realize! Thanks!
I hate it when I see threads like this and miss the fun! Thanks for this great picture, anyway.
