Dr. Oz: EEG Brain Scans Reveal Fake News Threatens Your Health
Observer ^ | 2/23/17 | Dr. Mehmet Oz

Our show will spotlight a first-of-its-kind social experiment to identify the dangerous and disruptive effect of fake news on our brains. We had high profile fake news creator Jestin Coler craft two fictional stories: one designed to prey on liberals and another on conservatives.
Women read the articles, not knowing they were fake, as neuropsychiatrist Dr. Daniel Amen gathered quantitative EEG assessments.
The findings supported results of a functional MRI study recently published in Nature Scientific Reports, which showed how challenging a person’s political beliefs could activate the parts of the brain associated with emotion and self-identity.
A self-described liberal woman in our social experiment reported feeling sad after reading a fictional article on illegal immigrants, but revealed stronger irritation and anger when processing a fake story about a jailed climate change researcher. Simultaneous changes in her brain activity were also much greater when processing the climate change story and correlated with a strong emotional response of angst and fear.
A conservative woman demonstrated opposite reactions. For her, the article on illegal immigration elicited changes in brain activity changes that you would see during a physical threat.
The women were not told that the articles were fake until they were seated on stage. What happened next was startling. First, the women understandably, but awkwardly, tried to defend why they believed the false stories, rather than expressing frustration that they had been duped. This natural human tendency was highlighted by one woman’s comment that while the news was fake, it reinforced a truth she felt about our country—so the piece was tolerable.

So protect your mental health by never watching ABCNNBCBS and Faux liberals.
Never read any article by the NY or LA Slimes, Compost, SF Gay Rhonical, WSJ supposedly about President Trump.

Become a monthly Donor to Free Republic and avoid Fake News and have better mental and physical health.
I can see where a case could be made that Rats are domestic terrorists.
All that organized violence in Chicago was Trumps fault too. Mr. Cruz said so.
You mean instead of people who were “overly reverential” of the Constitution and veterans, we can now focus on subversive leftists and anarchists?
Fake news. Not a factually accurate statement in the whole piece.
read the report. maybe I missed it, but it’s a lot “maybe”....
They note various acts of violence and criminality during protests.
They don’t mention an act of terrorism nor do they define “domestic terrorism violence”, yet make that leap.
Noted in the report is: their level of confidence in all aspects is medium.
Definition:
(U) Medium confidence includes information that is credibly sourced and plausible but can be interpreted in various ways, or information that is not sufficient quality or corroborated sufficiently to warrant a higher level of confidence
Results:
(U//FOUO) We have medium confidence in our assessment that physical violence against political organizations is likely to decrease in the first half of 2017 as it is based on a lack of threat recent threat reporting and our judgments about domestic terrorists targeting preferences as SMEs on the topic. We acknowledge that this lack of threat reporting could also partially be the result of the inherent difficulties in obtaining comprehensive domestic terrorism reporting as a result of privacy and civil rights restrictions on USPER data.
(U//FOUO) We have medium confidence in our assessment that malicious cyber activities in the first half of 2017 directed at government networks will likely continue at a similar rate but will be more focused on criminal rather than political aims as it is based largely onon our judgments regarding the goals of cyber actors as SMEs on the topic; these judgments have been corroborated by DHS IIR reporting that is deemed credible by other cyber experts.
Juan Thompson was working for them last year.
More trash news.
We gave always known that lefties are violent criminals. We need to use the FEMA camps that Clinton had built for gun owners to house these seditionists until their cases can be tried in 20 years. How ironic that would be.
How long has anger been causing protests? Just since a Republican was elected. My anger at obozo didn’t cause me to riot and destroy other people’s property!
The man caught for phoning in all of the bomb threats against Jewish synagogues and organizations was fired by “The Intercept” last year for false reporting.
I guess this leftist organization still has the same type of employees.
