Morality proven to be biological

Post by bitWISE »

This is actually from last year but I just saw the study on Nova ScienceNOW.

A person's moral judgments can be changed almost instantly by delivering a magnetic pulse to an area of the brain near the right ear, according to a study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

NOVA :up:

I read something similar to this a few days ago. Except the article I read focused on using these techniques to treat depression...

Yea, they showed that during the episode too. I guess it was only 1/3 effective for that but it did show a 50% reduction in morphine use in post-op patients.
