An Anonymous Coward wrote in with the news that a Sleep study raises hope for clinical treatment of racism, sexism and other biases

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.
