Asch was uncertain as to whether this conformity was limited to social compliance or whether it was actually influencing perception at the neurological level.
In 2005 neuroscientist Gregory Berns sought to answer this question. Berns created a variation of Asch’s experiment, this time measuring brain wave activity during the test to determine at what level of the brain this conformity was taking place. The results showed very clearly that the Occipital and Parietal lobes were the most active when the participants were answering incorrectly.
This meant that conformity was actually altering the perception of the test subjects at the neurological level.
Take a moment and register what that means. Social conformity literally causes the brain to rewrite our reality.
The Amazing part of this test.
It was conducted using subject matter that was physically and easily verifiable by each individual without much thinking, yet they completely and repeatedly ignored their own senses and rational for blind conformity, for pathetic group think, like crowds of zombie apocalypse sheeple carcasses being forcefully herded towards the gates of hell.
This is a trait commonly seen with the Somali atheist community with Darwin said, Dawkins said, Hawkin's said, Copernicus under his Magic Spinning Ball Earth said, Occult Scientists at CERN said etc.
The level of conformity and blind faith within this group runs so deep that even indisputable evidence of human sacrifices, child sacrifices, occultic rituals, masonic membership.
Gigantic Hindu Dancing Goddess statue @ CERN are all explained away with 'artistry' 'prank' 'mock' or the most bizarre which @simulacrum argued that Pagan Hindu scripture was meaningful as a symbolism to science.
