Flickering lights could help fight misinformation
EngadgetWednesday, July 30, 2025 at 3:58:29 PM
Scientists have discovered that something as simple as flickering lights might help people spot and resist misinformation. The idea is that these visual cues could subtly train our brains to be more critical of false or misleading information, almost like a mental "immune booster" against fake news. It's still early research, but it's a fascinating—and oddly low-tech—approach to a very modern problem.
Editor’s Note: In a world drowning in fake news and viral lies, this research offers a glimmer of hope. If something this simple could help people think more critically, it could be a game-changer—especially since it doesn’t rely on complicated tech or government crackdowns. It’s a reminder that sometimes the best solutions are the unexpected ones.
