@s_r_constantin A potentially relevant study: https://t.co/C0KOCQR4en Not sure about the reliability/validity of the reverse-inferences. Would like to see a multivoxel pattern analysis study to try to quantify the degree of similarity for the activations.

@_benoux_ "Neuroscience" is what psychologists and sociologists use to back up their theories. "our theories are SCIENCE, look at the brain scans" This was Sam Harris' claim to expertise https://t.co/XIFdK2W8Jo
@Damaan4u33 For further context, the paper alluded to, Harris et al 2009 is open access https://t.co/aybWXlrn89
One reason Trump supporters believe him comes from a basic fact about the brain: it takes more mental effort to reject an idea as false than to accept it as true. In other words, it’s easier to believe than to not. Read the study in PLOS ONE in 2009, http

@DrFrankTurek Pascal had ZERO data beyond the anecdotal and he was a little biased on proving stuff. We know more about belief formation today than he did. Christians are more emotional in their belief cognitions than non-religious people. https://t.co/j2

@MikeKofiA First off, there's no difference, neurologically, btwn believing religious propositions, and propositions concerning ordinary facts: if you believe it, belief looks the same neurologically, religious belief isn't magically different in the brain

Interesting.
Imagine being so atheist that you had to go and prove that religious people are smooth brained LMAO
Big oofs
While religious & nonreligious thinking differentially engage the frontal, parietal, and medial temporal lobes, the difference between belief & disbelief is content-independent and is associated with greater signal in the ventromedial prefrontal co

@CrispySea The group was split "atheist" & "theist" so there was no separation between strong and weak atheists. This explains the slight dampening in the signal in the atheist group. https://t.co/KQAk3Qd5zF

@tarun26atheist There is no single place in the brain that deals with the concept of a god. That's not how cognition works. However, there are patterns associated with fMRI scans which are different for "religious" and "non-religious" belief. https://t.co/

@A__Stout Well, we provided you with a detailed argument by an expert on the topic, and you rejected it. fMRI data also indicates no identifiable difference between theists and non-theists on a cognitive level. That makes no sense if you are correct. https

@TRej2011 As you can see, the fMRI results come from a test where theists have the theistic belief confirmed or rejected, and the same test is applied to the atheist group. Now, atheists were not separated by strong and weak #atheism. https://t.co/QPXzyJVN
