visual stimulation
What eyes crave
Visual stimulation is anything that engages or excites the eyes—bright colors, movement, patterns, or imagery designed to capture attention.
The term appears in child development (Mobiles provide visual stimulation for infants), interior design, and neuroscience.
It also serves as a euphemism for sexually arousing imagery: The magazine offers visual stimulation for its readers.
