Episode Twenty: Religion on the Brain (with Andrew Newberg)

What does your brain look like when you're praying? Meditating?
Conducting a ritual? These are the questions Dr. Andrew Newberg
investigates with his research. On this episode, Kristina and
Tolu discuss the field of Neurotheology and the implications of
it. They talk about the difficulties that may arise from mixing
the two, very different disciplines together (i.e., neuroscience
and theology) and how to embrace the bidirectional relationship
between them. Andrew's dog gives some wise insight at the
beginning of the episode as well!. The term of the episode or
TOTE is Neurotheology.
