A Magnetic Field Applied to the Brain Can Alter People's Sense of Morality

Perfect for brainwashing an evil clone army

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Transcranial magnetic stimulation can
impair the brain's ability to make m{*filter*}decisions based on another person's
intentions. http://www.***.com/ ~napl/
M{*filter*}judgments often have less to do with outcome and more to do with
intention. Take {*filter*}, for instance: The U.S. legal system makes
distinctions between a crime committed in the heat of the moment and one
that is planned ahead of time. But m{*filter*}judgments may not be as sacrosanct
as we believe: MIT scientists have shown that they can alter our m{*filter*}
judgments simply by magnetically interfering with a certain part of the
brain.

Studies have shown that the right temporo-parietal junction (TPJ) lights up
with activity when we engage in m{*filter*}judgments like evaluating the
intentions of another person, indicating the region is important to making
m{*filter*}decisions. But while we like to think we're very consistent in our
morality, the MIT team showed that an electromagnetic field applied to the
scalp impairs our ability to evaluate the intentions

The study relied on non-invasive transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to
interfere with the right TPJ, temporarily impeding the normal firing of
neurons in that region. In one experiment participants were exposed to TMS
for nearly half an hour then asked to complete a quiz in which they had to
judge characters' actions based on their intentions. In a second test,
subjects were hit with a 500-millisecond burst of TMS just as they were
evaluating a m{*filter*}problem.

In both cases, control subjects were able to evaluate the harmfulness and
morality of characters' intentions, whereas those exposed to TMS made
judgments based purely on outcome. For example, one common question asked
whether or not it was morally permissible for a man to allow his girlfriend
to cross a bridge he knows is unsafe, even if in the end she makes it across
safely. Control subjects found the intention to do harm morally
impermissible, but those exposed to TMS largely based their judgment solely
on the outcome; no harm, no foul.

The study not only shows that our morals aren't exactly incorruptible, but
also sheds light on the way the brain organizes and compartmentalizes m{*filter*}
decision making. It also reinforces something we all know intuitively to be
true: finding the difference between right and wrong is rarely as simple as
it sounds.

There's nothing intrinsically evil about a clone army.  Like any tool,
it depends on what you use it for.  But what kind of evil overlord
clones an army that needs magnetic fields to make them amoral.  Start
with an am{*filter*}soldier and clone him.  Much more efficient.

==============================================
Eh?  I'll let that paragraph stand as testimony to your intellect and
character.  I'm out.

they were just at the library auditorium,
selling it to cure depression....  beats the heck
out of electroconvulsing, but I missed the refreshments!

thus:
I didn't get the gist of the CBS reportage, although it seemed
to be literate & wikipediaized (yeeha .-)

seemed like "more decimal points," although
there was a (wikip.) bibliographic note referring to{*filter*}e --
I think, it was his paper that Einstein saw on one
of his rare visits to his Caltech office, and pooh-poohed,
regarding the pre{*filter*} redshifitng of the heavens.

thus:
and, if at the centerof Sun is an iron core,
the theory might have to be revized (don't laugh;
not only was this a mainstream theory at one time,
it may not have been laid to rest (in current research)).

thus:
Rob, you uneducated, global-warmed-over bog-creature --
did you create any oil, today?...
seriously, that was amuzing about the cancellation-of-submission.
reminds me
of the time that Popular Science made an on-the-wayside attack
upon S. Fred Singer; at the time they were owned by Times-Mirror,
the then-owner of the LAtribcoTimes.  the article was nominally and
visually an aggrandizement of three professors (and taht could
have included one of my own, at UCLA) of a theory about climate,
which had been celebrated already (I think) with a Nobel.
    they included a mug-shot of the good doctor,
along with no mention of his vitae; alas!

thus:
the Skeptics were a Greek cult in the Roman Pantheon,
along with the Peripatetics, the Gnostics, the Solipsists etc.
ad vomitorium; as long as the Emperor was the Top doG,
you were left to your beliefs (til, of course,
Jesus -- after it became the state church).

thus:
virtually all of "global" warming -- strictly a misnomer, along
with Arrhenius 1896 "glasshouse gasses," except to first-order --
is computerized simulacra & very selective reporting, although
a lot of the latter is just a generic lack of data (that is,
historical data for almost all glaciers -- not near civilization).
I say, from the few that I casually *am* familiar with,
that *no* database shows "overall" warming --
not that the climate is not changing, rapidly,
in the Anthropocene.

thus:
instead, we should blame Pascal for discovering,
experimentally, his "plenum," which he thought was perfect.  I mean,
it's always good to have a French v. English dichotomy,
with a German thrown-in for "triality."

  How many times do I have to tell you that if it's in the mainstream
press, it's either too awkward to be useful or a defense for it has
been found and put in place?

  This is the first; pulsed magnets need a power supply and control
circuitry. Forget implants too; they'd be too small.

  The left TPJ is central to language use. Suppose pulsing that would
cause dyslexia?
