A 61-million-person experiment in social influence and political mobilization

Political mobilization messages delivered to 61 million Facebook users during the 2010 US congressional elections directly influenced political self-expression, information seeking and real-world voting behaviour of millions of people and their friends, with social transmission occurring mainly between close friends and having a greater effect than the direct effect of the messages themselves.

Though we are often friends with people similar to ourselves, it is unclear if neural responses to perceptual stimuli are also similar.
