Paper: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;scan.oxfordjournals.org&#x2F;content&#x2F;early&#x2F;2015&#x2F;09&#x2F;03&#x2F;scan.nsv107.abstract" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;scan.oxfordjournals.org&#x2F;content&#x2F;early&#x2F;2015&#x2F;09&#x2F;03&#x2F;scan...</a><p>According to the abstract, the researchers &quot;...experimentally decreased both avowed belief in God and out-group derogation by down-regulating pMFC activity via transcranial magnetic stimulation. The results provide the first evidence that group prejudice and religious belief are susceptible to targeted neuromodulation.&quot;<p>If this is replicable, it&#x27;s kind of scary.
