Cultures Fundamentally Alter the Brain
It's no secret that culture influences your food preferences and taste in music.
But now scientists say it impacts the hard-wiring of your brain.
New research shows that people from different cultures use their brains differently to solve basic perceptual tasks.
Neuroscientists Trey Hedden and John Gabrieli of MIT's McGovern Institute for Brain Research asked Americans and East Asians to solve basic shape puzzles while in a functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scanner.
They found that both groups could successfully complete the tasks, but American brains had to work harder at relative judgments, while East Asian brains found absolute judgments more challenging.

What a politically incorrect article. I wonder if they will fire the author or the research team?

Fired? These are scientists and if they found something significant in their data they have a responsibility to publish it and in turn get credit for it.
In research more often than not, races are separated in order to find patterns either different or similar to other races.
It's not about being politically correct.

Yep, it's easy to overlook the little things when you're on a rant.

My husband is from India and is very directionally challenged in America. Where he grew up, they used landmarks to find where they are going. Using a map and street signs is quite difficult for him. I'm convinced that his brain is not wired for our methods, lending credence to this study.

I seem to agree for the most part.
