Spirituality and the brain. Is god a figment of the imagination?
Description
This provocative ABC News program presents laboratory evidence identifying specific locations in the brain that are involved in what people term religious experiences. Can any of this data categorically prove or disprove the existence of a supreme being? Michael Persinger, author of Neuropsychological Bases of God Beliefs; internist Michael Baime and neuroradiologist Andrew Newberg, both of the University of Pennsylvania Medical Center; Gary Schwartz, of The University of Arizona's Human Energy Systems Laboratory; and John Haught, professor of theology at Georgetown University, discuss their findings and share their insights into the nature of deity and the brain.
