  70% of oursensory receptors are dedicated to visualization The majority of the worlds population are visual learners Neurons that are responsible for visual activity take up approximately 30% of our total gray matter, while neurons for touch and hearing make up only 8% and 3%, respectively Much of the brain is dedicated (directly or indirectly) to visual functions It is estimated that 80% of all the data we process is visual The brain processes images faster than text and retains more information when images are added to text Our Brains Crave Visual Content
