General Question
What do you think of the study made from MIT about the moral center of the brain (details inside)?
There’s not much to say. It was done by scientists at Harvard, MIT, and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center involving magnets. The moral center, by the way, is located in the right temporo-parietal junction (RTPJ). The researchers found, in short, that they could affect a person’s moral compass, throw it off a few degrees, by exposing the RTPJ to a magnetic field, much like a real compass is thrown off the same way. My suspect is, this field affects also the memory. Oh, and, for those affected by magnetic fields, alcohol and dope affect memory too, obviously. Anything with a deleterious effect on your dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and parietal lobe.
