Neuro-politics: Will you vote with your cortex or limbic system?
Open accessAbstract
Neuro-politics: Will you vote with your cortex or limbic system?It's election season again.Every 4 years, October becomes the purgatory month of politics.But this year, it's even more complicated, being juxtaposed against a chaotic mosaic of a viral pandemic, economic travails, social upheaval, and exceptionally toxic political hyperpartisanship.The widespread expectation is that citizens will vote for their party's candidates, but there is now a body of evidence suggesting that our brains may be pre-wired to be liberal or conservative.Enter neuro-politics.This discipline is younger than neuro-economics, neuro-law, neuro-ethics, neuro-marketing, neuro-art, neuro-culture, or neuroesthetics.Neuro-politics focuses on the intersection of politics with neuroscience. 1 However, there are many antecedents to neuro-politics reflected in the writings of Plato, Aristotle, Niccolò Machiavelli, John Locke, Baruch Spinoza, Henri Bergson, William James, and others.Neuro-politics attempts to generate data to answer a variety of questions about political behavior, such as:• Is political orientation associated with differences in certain brain regions?

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
