True in the scientific sense yeah, and certainly absurd, that's the point Big Grin Stuff like this is emerging constantly in neuroscience, our picture of our own subjective experience is far far different from what our introspection reveals to us.

Quote:5. Magnets being placed over different sections of the brain affect our moral judgements.

So can the strength of the earth's magnetic field have an effect on moral judgements as well? And could that even be one of the factors for religious moral beliefs in the past? Or was it God's way of controlling their minds?

No, it's far far too weak Big Grin As far as I know anyway.
