I knew I was a genius!

And how smart do I become if I stare at naked women after having had 8 beers?

Well,...so much for Holiday Inn Express. Bring me that cold fusion device thingy.
I’ll get it workin’ in a minute.

It's true. That's how I learned to use the Internet.

Hmmm. If you look at naked women while staying at a Holiday Inn Express...

Manswers also cited a John Hopkins study that concluded a good way to deal with pain is to picture yourself in a threesome with 2 hotties. That’s science.

I recall a theory Cliff on “Cheers” put forward- that only the slowest, weakest brain cells were killed by the alcohol so that the remaining brain tissue was stronger and more vibrant.
Works for me!

How does the author comes into a conclusion that faster reaction on certain stimuli makes us smarter? Suppose we get to look at a series of pictures of male and female, some of them are family members or spouse. I'm not surprise if when those pictures with family members come up, the time for the brain cell to show electricity is faster than when those of unknown persons.
I'm not denying the correlation with the remnant of prehistoric brain on possible mating (Oohh.. does it mean we believe in evolution now?). I'm just taking issue with the 'makes-your-smarter' headline.

Holy Lord and Dale Earnhardt Jr.....that is disturbing on every level imaginable.

The volunteers electrical brain activity was monitored.[...]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.
Accurate experimental findings, faulty logic, and wrong conclusion (or at least: misleading article).
The electrical activity increased, but not in the higher brain centers (the prefrontal lobes). Cognitive powers were not enhanced. Rather, the activity in the limbic system (reptilian brain) - responsible for instinctive behavior (like evaluating the sexual attractiveness of potential mates - increased.
Looking at images of nude woman would NOT enhance the ability of a normal male subject to solve analytical problems (e.g., mathematical equations or logical deductions). Rather, certain instinctive processes would be triggered, helping him to determine whether the subject at hand was beddable, or worth bedding.
