The intrusion of ideological bias into neuroscience, where brain imaging and neural explanations are used to legitimize political, social, or moral positions under the guise of objective science. Ideoneuroscience often involves overinterpreting fMRI data, reducing complex human behaviors to “brain signatures,” and treating correlation as causation—all while smuggling in assumptions about what is normal, desirable, or inevitable. It is especially common in studies of gender, class, race, and political orientation, where neural findings are weaponized to naturalize existing hierarchies.
