Language of Terror: How Neuroscience Influences Political Speech in the United States

By Joseph M. Siracusa, Kevin Noguchi, Wesley Kendall, et al.

The authors examine how the human brain reacts to expressions of political ideology regarding terrorism. By comparing a variety of case studies, they demonstrate how similar acts accompanied by starkly different political language can create cognitive dissonance in the minds of the electorate and influence policy choices.
