Scientists Told Why People of a Different Race Seem Alike
Researchers conducted an experiment with the participation of 17 representatives of the Caucasian race. Participants were alternately shown on the screen the faces of people of the Caucasian and Negroid races. At this time, scientists using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) monitored the changes that occur in their brain.
Researchers focused on the highly sensitive part of the visual cortex. This site is the first to receive impulses from the organs of vision and specializes in image processing of human faces.
The experiment showed that this part of the brain more successfully recognizes the differences in the faces of the race to which the person belongs. On the faces of members of a different race, it responds to a lesser extent.
