Dear Fellows,
I scanned and ORCed this chapter for your enjoyment. It is about the
power of images and the damage that violent images can inflict on your
brain.
"More Images Than Ever: Is It Destabilizing Our Brains? "
So far we have explored how high-performing people work to improve their
brains' powers of concentration and focus and how modern life is
affecting the demands placed on our brain. But the brain is concerned
with more than just logic, efficiency and outstanding performance. The
brain is also the seat of fears, prejudices and other negative emotions.
Recent research points to potentially harmful effects on the brain
brought on by exposure to media images of horror and mayhem. Such
depictions, it's turning out, activate the same brain areas involved in
the feeling and expressing of real-life emotions. In order to understand
the relationship between disturbing images and emotional arousal, it's
helpful to say a few words about emotional processing within the brain.

I'd imagine that is exactly the point....visual imagery is a powerful propaganda tool..it is also a great way to spread memes...

Thanks for posting this. I presume it's not the whole
chapter, though, since it ends mid-sentence.
