All Things Considered, May 18-22What can science tell us about spirituality? NPR's Barbara Bradley Hagerty looks for answers to the question in a five-part series on All Things Considered. Hagerty interviews scientists who are trying to understand the biology of spiritual experience and answer questions such as: Is there a place or chemical in the brain that explains or points to a spiritual dimension? How do prayer and meditation fundamentally change the brain? Does prayer heal the body? Can your consciousness operate when the brain does not?
- Monday: Is "God" nothing more than brain chemistry?
- Tuesday: Is there a "God spot" in the brain?
- Wednesday: How prayer and meditation change the brain
- Thursday: Does prayer heal?
- Friday: Near-death experiences - can your mind work when your brain is "dead?"
