Scientists claim they can change your belief on immigrants and God with MAGNETS
ATTITUDES towards God and immigrants can be changed by beaming magnetic waves into the brain, scientists have claimed. By Selina Sykes Wed, Oct 14, 2015 A bizarre experiment claims to be able to make Christians no longer believe in God and make Britons open their arms to migrants in experiments some may find a threat to their values.
Scientists looked at how the brain resolves abstract ideological problems.
Using a technique called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), researchers safely shut down certain groups of neurones in the brains of volunteers.
TMS, which is used to treat depression, involves placing a large electromagnetic coil against the scalp which creates electric currents that stimulate nerve cells in the region of the brain involved in mood control.
Researchers found the technique radically altered religious perceptions and prejudice.
Belief in God was reduced almost by a third, while participants became 28.5 per cent less bothered by immigration numbers.
Dr Keise Izuma, from the University of York, said: "People often turn to ideology when they are confronted by problems.
"We wanted to find out whether a brain region that is linked with solving concrete problems, like deciding how to move one's body to overcome an obstacle, is also involved in solving abstract problems addressed by ideology."
The scientists targeted the posterior medial frontal cortex, a brain region a few inches up from the forehead that is associated with detecting and responding to problems.
Volunteers were asked to rate their belief in God, heaven, the devil, and hell after undergoing pre-screening to ensure that they held religious convictions.
Dr Izuma said: "We decided to remind people of death because previous research has shown that people turn to religion for comfort in the face of death.
"As expected, we found that when we experimentally turned down the posterior medial frontal cortex, people were less inclined to reach for comforting religious ideas despite having been reminded of death."
The American participants were also shown two essays written by newly arrived immigrants - one highly complimentary of the US and the other extremely critical.
Dr Izuma said: "When we disrupted the brain region that usually helps detect and respond to threats, we saw a less negative, less ideologically motivated reaction to the critical author and his opinions."
The research, published in the journal Social Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience, suggests our brains use the same basic mental pathways to solve practical problems such as following directions or ideological issues such as immigration and religion.
Lead author Dr Colin Holbrook, form the the University of California at Los Angeles, said: "These findings are very striking, and consistent with the idea that brain mechanisms that evolved for relatively basic threat-response functions are re-purposed to also produce ideological reactions."
WITCHCRAFT , burn them at the stake !!
Thereby providing strong evidence that people with normal brains view uncontrolled immigration as a threat, while people with abnormal brains do not.
Well, since this study indicates that one’s brain must be damaged in order to promote liberal thoughts, then it stands to reason that the brain must be repaired (or undamaged) in order to shut down liberal thoughts.
The only thing this study seems to prove is that lib-progs are brain damaged.
When do they start fixing people with serious diseases like progressivism and sexual confusion? Will it work with them?
I remember a science fiction novel set hundreds of years in the future, where belief in god was a mental illness, where some were “cured” while others were deported/exiled.
And government schools.
Psychology surveys on faith and the religious ask how certain you are there is a god, how much you believe there is a heaven, how much you believe there is a soul, on scales of 1-10.
If the average religious person rated it a 9 and now a 6, you see a 33% decline. The person is now barely certain there is a god, or the person on the maybe side now says NO.
Talk to me when you idiots can make islamist change their mind about allah and the queeran.
Liberalism is a magnetic disorder.
Women can be made to not fear violent rape.
Kids can be made to have no concern with killing friends.
Men can be made to have no problems with severing their own limbs.
Everyone can be made to not care about God or death.
Yes, we are going to see a most wonderful future, thanks to “Science.”
A lab coat does make you a scientist. Perhaps this “scientist” should have that coat on backwards with the lab coat arms tied.
“And government schools.”
Very true as well.
It’s unreal they covered this in a newspaper! It was always just the stuff of “conspiracy theorists.” They need this for the new world order.
Americans and less so, Europeans, are not all going along with the dissolution of their nations for Regional administrative bodies under the UN. Christians, especially in America, are not going along with most of the NWO evil/amoral, ideology and plans. We have messy Western cultural morals and ethics. This is why Homeland inSecurity has become so hostile to Americans - naming all those who are “conservative” (rural people, constitution supporters, second amendment supporters, libertarian third party voters, Veterans, Christians who believe in the End Times) domestic terrorists. We keep messing up the NWO with our defective brains. This is why they are so outraged with Trump. He’ll mess things up with his “nationalism.”
I believe they might have this brain messing technology on a larger scale and it makes you wonder given how docile Americans - especially young people - have become in the face of Federal, State and local perversion and oppression. They may have drugs to deaden this thinking part of the brain. We are to be like docile farm animals in the NWO.
Well, not likely. An October 14, 2015 article, "Research that is simply beyond belief" notes:
[A] team from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), [carried] out an innovative experiment using transcranial magnetic stimulation, a safe way of temporarily shutting down specific regions of the brain.However flaws in the study can be seen in the Methods section of the published Social Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience paper, "Neuromodulation of group prejudice and religious belief" (Colin Holbrook, Keise Izuma, Choi Deblieck, Daniel M.T. Fessler, and Marco Iacoboni):
The researchers targeted the posterior medial frontal cortex, a part of the brain located near the surface and roughly a few inches up from the forehead that is associated with detecting problems and triggering responses that address them.
In the study, half of the participants received a low-level "sham" procedure that did not affect their brains, and half received enough energy to lower activity in the target brain area. Next, all of the participants were first asked to think about death, and then were asked questions about their religious beliefs and their feelings about immigrants.
The findings, published in the journal Social Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience, reveal that people in whom the targeted brain region was temporarily shut down reported [an average of] 32.8% less belief in God, angels, or heaven. They were also [an average of] 28.5% more positive in their feelings toward an immigrant who criticised their country.
[University of California] Undergraduates were recruited for a study, ostensibly consisting of a series of unrelated measures, in exchange for $25... As has been done in similar ways in prior studies employing this measure of intergroup bias, to ensure that participants would respond aversively to a Latino immigrants criticisms of the USA, those who identified as extremely liberal or as non-US citizens were excluded from participating, and four individuals who self-identified as Hispanic/Latino after participating were dropped prior to analysis. The final sample consisted of 38 participants (58% female, Mage = 20.9 years, s.d. = 2.67). About 36.8% of the participants identified as White, 36.8% as East Asian, 13.2% as South Asian, 7.9% as Middle Eastern and 5.3% as Other. As intended, the sample was politically moderate (M = 4.68, s.d. = 1.51; 1 = Extremely Liberal; 5 = Moderate; 9 = Extremely Conservative). [References were removed from the quoted excerpt.]These were UC undergrads! Paid $25 each! And only 38 of them! Of the 38 testees, there was no indication whether any UC undergrads were Christian. If a ranking of 9 = extremely conservative, then 7 or 8 would be conservative, yet the 1 s.d. upper limit is 6.2. In political or theological equivalents, those tested were at best most likely RINOs and/or Episcopalians.... and, again, UC undergrads.
Check this out.
I did posit such, in a recent article. It’s shocking they made this public.
