The mystical mind: probing the biology of religious experience

---

How does the mind experience the sacred? What biological mechanisms are involved in mystical states and trances? This pioneering work by two leading medical researchers explores the neuro-physiology of religious experience. Mapping the basic functions of the brain, the authors focus on structures most relevant to human experience, emotion and cognitions. On this basis they plot just how the brain is involved in mystical experiences. Successive chapters employ this understanding to explore myth-making, ritual and liturgy, meditation, near-death experiences and theology itself..
