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.

I like the story as it reinforces the racist stereotype I have of pit bull terriers being stupid creatures!
Read it in The Mirror, probably, so it must be true.
Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people; the smallest discuss themselves

The Pavlovian approach has been going on for years and is itself the biggest source of racism and other forms of extremism because people easily become racist/extreme when they realize what's being done against them. If that wasn't clear enough: not just the people who had a local heritage but also those who don't.
It's not multiculturalism but anticulturalism: the attempted removal of genuinely common culture and thus the destruction of the civil society and the nation state. Europe and the US are slowly being regressed back into tribalism; a lesser form of culture, and eventually if they survive that: stark unforgiving etnocentrism far beyond the weak anthropologist definition (the process of building a society has reset and started over, a revolution if you will) which they are guaranteed not to survive. Not that they understand it, otherwise they wouldn't do it. With this in mind the ridiculous statement of Mona Sahlin declaring “we (you) have no culture / we (you) never had any culture” starts making sense: it's a post-communist reaction of idealism in favor of the continuation of the anti-human agenda of the USSR and its western lackeys/useful idiots. That's why they simply can't comprehend no-go zones; they can't even perceive them or understand what is being said because they're not part of the relevant tribes. That's why things like modern slavery doesn't really matter to them: just as in the old days anything at all is justified by the aims. When humans don't fit ideology they prefer smashing humanity into “shape”. It doesn't work, they're already failing badly. It's why calling them “elites” always should be surrounded with quotation marks of sarcasm: they're the heirs of both Mengele (human experimentation) and Adorno (cultural marxism).
The power vacuum being created is huge and they think their own fascism (surveillance, manipulation) will fill it but completely misunderstand: one can't make an ocean by filling a hole with sand.
