When the desired behavior is performed, a sound is played. When the test subjects reach deep sleep, that same sound is played repeatedly. Subjects were then more likely to perform the desired behavior.
The article, "Unlearning implicit social biases during sleep" appears in the journal Science; an abstract and full report are available.

Then I realised you did the rather unnecessary anti-Sarkeesian snark earlier, which stood out out rather as being a little unnecessary. (Maybe it was for comic effect though.)
Never having heard of her, or *anyone* involved, when the GamerGate fuss came to the front pages earlier this year, before commenting I decided to go off and do a little research, download the videos and the articles from the various antagonists, and see what they had to say, and how they said it. Of everyone involved, and this is my own personal opinion, and I'm entitled to it, Sarkeesian came over as the least wrong, and the one prepared to put the most effort into backing up her arguments. Many of her antagonists weren't even able to spell her name (missing 2nd 'e' - thank you for getting that right), and a bunch actually came over as downright stupid, in harsh contrast to Anita's erudite presentation.
Despite rumours to the contrary, Soylent News is not an echo chamber, which is good.

It was.

I actually agree. The anti-sjw movement is as over the top bonkers as they come. But at the time of the fuss, I couldn't figure out why the big fuss was even about her; the professional misconduct was by the 'journalist' for conflict of interest; and i said as much on /. at the time. But that's not say I actually agree with Sarkeesian either; I think the cause she's championing has some merit; but not to the degree that she does; and I think she has little real credibility due to her own role in the scandal; and her continued presence does more to undermine her cause than forward it in my opinion.
I was just about to thank you for being brave enough to state the politically incorrect view that maybe it's not true that paedophiles are the worst evil satan has ever created
Heh... that post had enough politically incorrect views in it to last me the rest of the year. :) But I'll stand behind that one.
