Your Brain on Politics

The Presidential Election is just 1 year away (specifically 342 days... but who's really counting?). If you're a die-hard republican or democrat, you probably already know you'll be voting for the 'insert-political-party-here' candidate. If your not one of those voters, however, you're probably in the middle of trying to wrap your brain around each of the candidates.

This brings me to my point...
The New York Times recently used MRI to observe how the brains of swing voters' reacted to thoughts of presidential candidates. The results may, or may not, surprise you. Nonetheless it is pretty interesting. Click here to see the slideshow This is Your Brain on Politics.
