You just need to see anything that reminds you of coffee to get stimulated, says the study. For example, if you see a coffee mug, your brain may still get aroused.

The researchers exposed the participants of the study to objects related to coffee. And they found out that there was an association between coffee and arousal.

These coffee-related visual cues activated certain specific areas of their brain and made it alert, attentive and active.

It means just seeing coffee, yields the same results of drinking the beverage.
