Neuroscience of Terrorism......

There is a group that is called Artis International.  I read about this group on a website that is called, The Conversation.  This organization studies the brains of individuals that are involved in juhadi organizations.  They have found that when the people start talking about the process of killing or being killed for the organization that there is a part of the brain that is in the prefrontal cortex that gets deactivated.  These centers relate to the ideas of deliberate reasoning.
The research also points to the social influence that these organizations have on the individual.  They have found that when people feel excluded for religious or political reasons, they do not have a voice, then the local extremist groups can gather them in.  They exploit these individuals by finding the disenfranchised people and getting them to get on board with an organization the does care.  An example would be the Sunni Arabs.  They get the people on board by being against the established organizations. 
How can this be changed.  By creating foreign and domestic policies that facilitate social inclusion to take the fire our of violent extremist groups.  However, the sacred values that the people hold are individual.  So in the long run, learning to foster a sense of purpose and belonging creates a power to effect social change.

I keep working with the LENS neurofeedback system to create change on an individual level.  We can become more discerning and understanding of others through our own self care.
