“The human brain is a big believer in equality — and a team of scientists from the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) and Trinity College in Dublin, Ireland, has become the first to gather the images to prove it.
Specifically, the team found that the reward centers in the human brain respond more strongly when a poor person receives a financial reward than when a rich person does. The surprising thing? This activity pattern holds true even if the brain being looked at is in the rich person’s head, rather than the poor person’s.
These conclusions, and the functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies that led to them, are described in the February 25 issue of the journal Nature.”

nice to know empathy is still buried in there somewhere…
Only when mind control is on .. they missed out on that little flickering light somewhere in the brain before this reward center started to flicker .. All people want that money theirself .. not the poor nor the rich should get it .. they theirself want it .. but thy shall not be greedy .. etc etc ..
Childeren dont see it at all yet like those scientists see it … so what they see in this research is not really the case .. they miss out on a whole lot of stuff .. They reason their way around some stuff a bit too much .. So crappy research. Completely useless.
Reward center .. that center works completely the opposite in many people, that to the side .. Lots get something out of someone else’s misery. They got no nice stuff on the inside so someone else can not have that too. Etc.
you do realize that FES is a joke, right? clever satire!
