Obama's Five Likely Supreme Court Picks- Brain Response Images

Here's a link to the brain response images.
Harold Koh, Dean of Yale Law School was the most active.
Elena Kagan, U.S. Solicitor General was 2nd.
Seth Waxman, Former U.S. Solicitor General was 3rd.
The two judges, Judge Diane Wood, and Judge Sonia Sotomayor were the least active.

Most of the activation was in the visual areas. With a small amount of attention and personal meaning.

Upon leaving the scan, subject (26 year old male) said he thought he liked Seth Waxman the most, because he looked like a caring person. But his brain did not show him to be the most active.
He said he liked Elena Kagan the least, because she looked mean. That could explain why her activation was the second most active, because he had a strong dislike of her.

The subject was neutral on Harold Koh, even if his brain was the most active to him.

It could be the subject’s desire to have another non-Caucasian in the Supreme Court, as Harold Koh is Asian American.
