About this audiobook
Can the brain really communicate with God? An expert will discuss how the brain has adapted to religious experiences and how it was evolutionarily advantageous to develop this.
Author
Dr. Andrew Newberg
Dr. Andrew Newberg is a neuroscientist who studies the relationship between brain function and various mental states. He is a pioneer in the neurological study of religious and spiritual experiences, a field known as “neurotheology.” His research includes taking brain scans of people in prayer, meditation, rituals, and trance states, in an attempt to better understand the nature of religious and spiritual practices and attitudes.
