Images have an immensely real effect on the human brain. Studies of the processes that take place in the brain while looking at an image have shown: Information in pictures is received like information from reality. Regardless of whether we are looking at reality or an image of (supposed) reality: Exactly the same areas of the brain are always activated and the same reactions are evoked.
