KEYNOTE SPEAKER - Andrew Newberg | Neurotheology in Spiritual Transformation

Neurotheology is the field of study exploring the relationship between the brain and our religious and spiritual self. We will focus on how neurotheology can be used to explore the physiological and neurobiological effects of spiritual practices and experiences with a focus on transformative aspects. This presentation will outline the major principles that are the foundation for future neurotheological research. It will focus on the spiritual transformation that has been observed during intense spiritual or awakening experiences and will include the latest brain scan studies and research results. And we will consider how science and religion can interact successfully to form this new field of study and enlighten us about spiritual transformation. ~ Andrew B.
