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.

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