Estonian scientists with transcranial magnetic stimulation devices have found that applying a strong magnetic field to the left or right frontal lobes of the brain can have an effect on "spontaneous" decisions whether to tell a lie or tell the truth. These findings dovetail with research performed at MIT last year, showing that transcranial magnetic stimulation of the temporal lobes can make people "temporarily less moral" - more likely to exhibit self-serving behavior in an experimental setting.
Think you're in charge of your mind? There's more going on than we suspected.
