If I correctly understand the research show that there is not a particular part of the brain responsible to the true or false statements about religion. And non believers are having the same neuro- biological 'struggles' as those who believe. This research can be used for lie detection on beliefs. I quote the paper-writer: There is, of course, no reason to expect that any regions of the human brain are dedicated solely to belief and disbelief. Nevertheless, our work suggests that these opposing states of cognition can be discriminated by functional neuroimaging and are intimately tied to networks involved in self-representation and reward. Despite vast differences in the underlying processing responsible for religious and nonreligious modes of thought, the distinction between believing and disbelieving a proposition appears to transcend content.
If there is any, I do not understand the point trying to be made in this paper Matthijs On 1 okt, 08:22, ornamentalmind <[email protected]> wrote: > ...for those interested in Scientism. > > http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.00... --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups ""Minds Eye"" group.
