The new study by US psychologists found that people shown erotic or gory images frequently fail to process images they see immediately afterwards. And the researchers say some personality types appear to be affected more than others by the phenomenon, known as “emotion-induced blindness”.


Interesting.

That's ridiculous. I wonder how much money was spent on this study. I bet they studied just men also. Isn't it a no brainer that erotic images stimulate the wrong head? If women lost that much blood in their brain they would be blinded as well. Men can't see that can they?

Can't see what? I can't see a thing. Is there something I missed?

Maybe those researchers are blind from viewing all those erotic and gory images for the study? lol.
