Briefings

A 2026 study published in Social Neuroscience found that mild electrical brain stimulation temporarily removed a perceptual bias toward the sexual objectification of women. This is the first study of its kind to demonstrate this effect, though the study's specific sample size and duration are not detailed in the provided evidence.

Key points

• Mild electrical stimulation to the brain temporarily removed a perceptual bias linked to the sexual objectification of women.
• This is the first study of its kind to demonstrate this effect, though the study's specific sample size and duration are not detailed in the provided evidence.

Context

The study was published in the journal Social Neuroscience, which is a peer-reviewed scientific journal. The finding suggests that non-invasive brain stimulation can alter how individuals perceive women, potentially reducing bias against them.

Limitations

The provided evidence does not specify the number of participants, the duration of the stimulation, or the specific dates of the study. The evidence is limited to the journal publication and lacks details on methodology or sample size.
