A Magnet Can Change Your Faith in God
- cs702 11y agoPaper: http://scan.oxfordjournals.org/content/early/2015/09/03/scan.nsv107.abstract http://scan.oxfordjournals.org/content/early/2015/09/03/scan... According to the abstract, the researchers "...experimentally decreased both avowed belief in God and out-group derogation by down-regulating pMFC activity via transcranial magnetic stimulation. The results provide the first evidence that group prejudice and religious belief are susceptible to targeted neuromodulation." If this is replicable, it's kind of scary.
