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.
