Your brains response to disgust can predict your political worldview, says new study
Posted: at 11:41 pm
As Fox News front woman Megan Kelly found out Monday on national TV, if you ask an Ebola medic tough questions, you should be prepared to handle any answer. Our physical and mental response to disgust in this instance the finer points of a three-gallon-per-day case of diarrhea is something one might think to be universal and uniform across our species. Researchers led by Read Montagueat Virginia Tech have just made the claim that if they analyzeyour brain with an MRI scannerwhile you view an image of disgust, their algorithm can classify you as liberal or conservative to a 95% confidence level.
Recent studies reporting that dreams or other mental imagery can now be decoded may not have impressed everyone, but we do know that brain imaging especially with functional MRI (fMRI) is getting more powerful all the time. The question is, is it now good enough to take a look at you in action and know your very core not just the crust of our sometimes fickle worldview, but the most visceral intuitions from which they derive?
The researchers scanned some 80 people, enough to show they werent playing games. After the subjects viewed all manner of threatening, disgusting, or pleasant pictures, their brain activity wasfed into a predictive model which classified them as conservative or liberal. This model applied machine learning techniques to the data, including a type of penalized regression method known as an elastic net algorithm. The results were then compared to the subjects self-evaluations of their own political leanings. [Research paper: DOI10.1016/j.cub.2014.09.050]
The researchers found that of all the images shown to the subjects, those which evoked disgust gave the biggest effects. From that class of images, one particular depiction, one showing decaying animal remains, clearly differentiated the subjects. The subjects that self-reported conservative on the evaluations had a significantly greater neural response to this image, particularly in certain region of the brain like the basal ganglia.

Implicating any large brain area in personal idiosyncrasy from imaging data can be a tricky affair. For example, when early investigators of synesthesia (a condition that includes significant merging of different sensory perceptions) differential activation of the basal ganglia versus the cortex was reported. As more subjects were studied however, these kinds of sweeping conclusions proved difficult to corroborate.
The question remains as to what exactly thesescans are picking up on. For example, are they merely picking up on subthreshold motor plans to activate the muscular intimations of disgust? In other words, signals that if fully realized would wrinkle the nose and pull the corners of the mouth down in the near-universally recognized face of disgust? We reported previously on one technology, Motorolas smart tattoo, that might have the power to address these kinds of questions.
This electronic tattoo was originally designed to record subthreshold signals of your inner voice from a skin location near your throat. It would not be too hard to apply devices like these to the facial muscles as well, and listen in to covert political views. Clearly a simple label of conservative or liberal can not do justice to the full nuance and complexity of any individuals views. The potential role, if any, of physiologically-defined variables in politics still remains to be seen. To that point, we just reported on the political ambitions of the Transhumanist Party. Its proponents offer that our worldviews are actually partitioned at an even deeper level than the current parties pedal namely to either have the desire to persist indefinitely as technologically transformed individuals in a state of ever-increasing capability, or to have the desire to fight against those that do.

Final farewell to Connie Harper of the Call & Post
Posted: at 11:41 pm
CLEVELAND, OH (WOIO) -
A community came together to mourn the loss of Call & Post Associate Publisher and Executive Editor Connie Harper on Saturday. The wake and funeral were both held at Olivet Institutional Baptist Church.
Harper, who was considered among many to be a powerhouse in the Cleveland community, became ill at the homecoming of Central State University (CSU), her alma mater, where she was the Cleveland Alumni Chapter President.
"It was great for her to be around and give us her opinion of what was going on, give the world, the city, a face of some people who can't speak for themselves," said Dale Martin.
As a young journalist, it was clear she was destined to be a leader among leaders, and not just in her field, but an outspoken advocate for civil and human rights and as many knew, the conscious of Cleveland.
"Connie reflected a level of consciousness of our community to insure responsibility, accountability to make sure the African-American community would have a voice," said Ohio Rep. John Barnes Jr.
For a woman who meant so much to so many, it's only fitting that her final farewell service was packed.
"I'm a great admirer. We all are, everybody here," said Tim McGinty. "She will surely be missed. Big shoes to fill."
She was recently honored by the Cleveland Chapter of 100 Black Men and ClevelandUrbanNews.com, along with the Who's Who in Black Cleveland.
During her time at CSU, Harper served as the editor of the college paper and school yearbook for four years.

Iran defends human rights record at UN panel
Posted: at 11:41 pm

Iran lashed out at critics of its abysmal human rights record at a U.N. hearing Friday, blaming the West for Saturdays execution of a woman who killed her attempted rapist, and receiving support from a host of countries with dubious records of their own.
The Islamic Republics rebuttal of a damning report from the U.N. special rapporteur on human rights in Iran came during a three hour review in Geneva of the U.N. Human Rights Council of Tehran's record. The debate was part of the U.N. council's examination of every member state's record every four years.
This idea of, the West and the rest, only the West has good things, this is wrong, Mohammad Javad Larijani, chief of human rights in Irans government, told the world body panel. Please accept the idea that others have a good way of life. Western lifestyle isnt only way of doing things.
Larijani, secretary general of Iran's High Council for Human Rights, a part of its judiciary, lashed out at what he called attempts to "impose your lifestyle under the banner of human rights," including gay rights.
But the panel also heard from Ahmed Shaheed, the world body's special rapporteur on human rights in Iran, who filed a report charging 852 people were executed in the Islamic Republic over the last year, mostly for drug offenses, homosexuality and alleged crimes against sharia law. Western diplomats were appalled at Irans persecution of Christians and disregard for due process.
- Sepideh Pooraghaiee, Iranian dissident
"There are continued reports of government harassment towards members of religious minorities. Journalists have been arrested, detained or prevented from doing their work," U.S. ambassador Keith Harper said in a speech.
Harper urged Iran to release Jason Rezaian, a Washington Post reporter detained since July, "to demonstrate its commitment to freedom of expression."
Rezaian, a dual Iranian-American national, has worked in Tehran since 2008. This month Iran released his wife, an Iranian journalist, on bail after more than two months held without charge

NTSB Begins Its Investigation Of Virgin Galactic Crash
Posted: at 11:41 pm
Acting Chairman Christopher A. Hart briefs the media. (Credit: NTSB)
The National Transportation Safety Board officially began their investigation of the crash of Virgin Galactics SpaceShipTwo. The craft was destroyed on October 31 during a test flight that claimed the life of one pilot.
That pilot has been identified as Michael Alsbury, 39, who was a test pilot for Scaled Composites, the contractor that is building and testing the spaceship for Virgin.
The NTSB began their investigation this morning. Senior investigator Lorenda Ward will be in charge of the process. She is leading a team of 13-15 investigators with a variety of specialties to determine the cause of the crash.
Acting NTSB chairman Christopher A. Hart gave a briefing this morning to the media.
This has many similarities and some differences to the NTSBs usual investigations, Hart said in response to a question from a reporter. Thisll be the first time we have been in the lead of a space launch that involved persons on board.
Hart didnt have much information yet about the specifics of the crash as the investigation was beginning, but indicated that there should be lots of evidence because test flights are typically very well documented.
Updates to NTSBs investigation will be gathered at its website here.
Virgin Galactics founder, Sir Richard Branson, was also on the scene today and briefly addressed reporters and others in Mojave.
