Is your politics down to how your brain works?
Scientists have discovered a way to identify the politics of the human brain by using a scan that can identify liberal or conservative tendencies.
Researchers report today that by electrical activity in the brain can identify just how committed to Right or Left-wing causes a person is likely to be...
Previous psychological work has suggests (sic) that, on average, conservatives tend to be more persistent in their judgements and decision-making, while liberals are more likely to be open to trying something new.
The findings support previous suggestions that political orientation may in part reflect differences in brain processing. However... [it is] not easy to say whether these differences in neural patterns have their origins in nature or nurture. (The Telegraph)
But since politics nowadays go way beyond the limited scope of these findings, they really don't feed directly into party political identification.
