A History of Religion & the Brain with Dr. John Modern (Chasing Leviathan)

· by · in , , ,

In this episode of Chasing Leviathan, PJ and Dr. John Modern discuss the dynamic relationship between the histories of neuroscience and religion, including brain studies on religious experience and religious groups that include “psuedo” scientific neurological rituals. Dr. Modern also explores the push in contemporary science to locate religiosity in the brain while simultaneously developing neurological technologies that realize some of eschatological ends of formal religion.
