One of Coca-Cola's many taglines was: "You can't beat the real thing." The company was trying to say that even though there were a lot of similar drinks, none of them was as good as the "real" Coke.

You might not agree. But when it comes to art, researchers in the Netherlands think it's true — you can't beat the real thing.

A small study has found that real artworks stimulate the brain much more than posters or prints of the same work.

The Mauritshuis ("MAO-rits-haus") Museum in The Hague commissioned the study. The museum's best-known artwork is Girl with a Pearl Earring by Johannes Vermeer.

Researchers showed this artwork and four others to 20 people. While they were looking at the paintings, their brain activity was measured using a brain scanner.

The participants were also asked to look at posters of those same five artworks. The researchers compared their brain activity when looking at the real artworks and when looking at the posters.

They found that when looking at the real artworks, participants had an emotional response that was 10 times stronger compared to when they were looking at the posters.

Martine Gosselink from the museum said this was an "enormous difference." She said they had thought that looking at the real thing might give people a richer experience, but now "we can really say that it is true."

The researchers said the real art caused a strong emotional response in a part of the brain called the precuneus. This part of the brain is involved with self-reflection and personal memories.

Some have said that this research demonstrates the importance of museums and galleries for people of all ages.

Hoje vamos falar sobre a Região Sudeste do Brasil, a mais populosa e economicamente desenvolvida do país. Ela é formada por quatro estados: São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Minas Gerais e Espírito Santo. Cada um com características culturais marcantes e paisagens muito diferentes entre si.

São Paulo é o coração financeiro do Brasil, com a maior cidade da América do Sul. Rio de Janeiro encanta o mundo com suas praias, o Cristo Redentor e o famoso Carnaval. Minas Gerais é conhecida por sua culinária, suas montanhas e seu patrimônio histórico, com cidades como Ouro Preto e Tiradentes. Já o Espírito Santo guarda belezas naturais, como as praias de Guarapari e a tradicional moqueca capixaba.

Além da força econômica, o Sudeste também é um polo cultural e universitário. A mistura de tradições indígenas, africanas, europeias e migrantes de todo o Brasil fez da região um lugar diverso e dinâmico, onde o passado e o futuro convivem lado a lado.

E você, já conheceu algum estado do Sudeste?

EMOJIS
(A)  Emoticons sind BELIEBTE Hilfsmittel in der digitalen Kommunikation. Sie machen einen Austausch zwischen zwei Leuten lebendiger, sie helfen aber auch, Missverständnisse zu vermeiden. 

(B)  Im Gegensatz zu einer realen Unterhaltung sehen wir im digitalen Raum den Gesichtsausdruck unseres Gesprächspartners nicht. Auch seine Gesten und und seine Stimme fehlen in dieser Kommunikation. Emojis können diese emotionalen Aspekte BIS ZU EINEM GEWISSEN GRAD vermitteln. 

(C)  Das "augenzwinkernde Smiley" 😉 zum Beispiel kann den humorvollen Unterton einer Nachricht ausdrücken. Ein Herz ♥ kann ein Wort in einer Gratulation ersetzen. Das Daumen-hoch-Emoji 👍 kann für eine ganze Antwort stehen. 

(D)  Emoticons dienen hauptsächlich dazu, die zwischenmenschliche Ebene in der digitalen Kommunikation zu unterstützen. Abstrakte Ideen oder grammatikalisch komplexe Details können sie nicht darstellen. Trotzdem wird jeder ZUSTIMMEN: Ein Bild sagt mehr als tausend Worte.
