ROME — An Italian psychologist has proposed modifying people’s 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 people’s 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.

Isn’t this prejudice against people with prejudices? Perhaps we ought to try the solution on the proposal author and kill two birds with one stone.
They could use the paintings, Yoko Ono or loop this 24/7. They should break within an hour.

I believe I could use that song on Taliban members and break them in 30-35 minutes.
Yep. Some of the leaders of the Einsatzgruppen were PhD’s.
Exactly right. Some prejudices are more equal than others.
Nurse Rachette revivified.
I’m of the opinion every human was born this way.
It’s the survival instinct coded into our DNA and there’s nothing to overcome it.
When Native Americans saw white people they were afraid.
When white people saw Native Americans they were afraid.
Fear morphs to animus. And that animus has maintained successful and insular cultures, aligned usually by race.
And that’s been repeated thousands of times throughout human history.
That displays almost beyond evil.
Surprised the SS holding the child wasn’t concerned about blood splatter.
We will torture you until you lose your prejudice
John Hagee mentioned the Nazis long ago (in a book).
Said (the people you mentioned) their education made them smarter sinners.
If jihadis were force-fed that vid you posted it would only harden their resolve to destroy the infidel at any cost.
However, they might actually like this Yoko yodel: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=HdZ9weP5i68

Ha! You may be correct!
There are only two good things about that video and that’s the Mustang and the Camaro. I am unable to finish to see if there are any more nice cars. I’ve made it through about 30% and it was like severe torture. So I stopped it again.
I guess I’ll be in the first group to be zapped. I AM prejudiced against people with EYEBROWS THAT LOOK LIKE CATERPILLARS, MISS DOCTOR.
Go figure.
LOL
You can’t trust em!
