This forum is inhabited by many who are avid readers and/or authors of stories. So I suppose than none of us will have much doubt about the power of words. However, did you know that language actually physically affects neural processes and how our brains perceive the outside world?
Words change how the brain sees things
"The brain is constantly making predictions about what it will see based on past experiences -- even a word heard seconds prior"
Language And Color Perception Linked In Human Brain
"Does the language people speak influence their perception of the world? Recent findings suggest that it may well. For the first time, scientists have found patterns of brain activation that signal a positive relationship between language and color perception."
