ROME An Italian psychologist has proposed modifying peoples unconscious prejudices and stereotypes by subjecting parts of the brain to electric and magnetic impulses.
Over the past 20 years, researchers have attempted to alter peoples ethnic and racial stereotypes and prejudices by providing information that counteracts the prejudice, writes Maddalena Marini, yet these interventions, while effective to some extent, have produced only limited results, especially regarding duration.
A postdoctoral researcher at the Italian Institute of Technology (IIT), Marini says that these stereotypes are so instilled in the human mind that the only way to change them is to change the biological mechanisms of the brain responsible for generating and controlling these stereotypes.
To accomplish this, Marini proposes the use of non-invasive brain stimulation techniques, which modulate the mechanisms through which the brain regulates our behavior by introducing transcranial electric or magnetic currents.
Marini does not state whether she believes that the treatment against prejudice and stereotypes should be strictly voluntary or mandatory in some cases.

I thought Fascism was dead in Italy. Guess I was wrong.
Why don’t they try out this technique on her, first? She obviously is prejudiced against sane people.
She’s a crazy putana!

I.e., photo-shopped fake, of course.
Not that that will stop some from believing it’s real, of course.
Speaking of Italian high-tech, whatever happened to Rossi and his E-whatever cold fusion apparatus, and the guy who used to spam FR on a daily basis for years with that crap? I remember that “proof” was just a few short months away...back in...2011?
“An Italian psychologist has proposed modifying peoples unconscious prejudices and stereotypes by subjecting parts of the brain to electric and magnetic impulses.”
Sounds great. We’ll do lobotomies of Nazi psychologists at 500 yards.
Yep....
It is the point though...
Seesh, it will take a couple of nuclear power plants to shock all the Liberals into coherence.
