Humans can experience something and interpret it as a religious experience/god's presence. Sticking your head in a magnetic field might induce such a thing.
So worth the experiment. This doesn't take into account that all test subjects, religious or not, probably have dealt with religion a good deal. So are probably more prone to describe such an experience in religious terms than someone who doesn't know about God/Allah/Nirvana/Thor/Cleft the Boy Chin Wonder. |

As for your question Deaderest, I'm not a neuroscientist, so I don't know what areas in the field are less understood than others, I'd probably try to find info in a place where neuroscience is lacking and can benefit from study in... but me, personally, probably something in memory, what makes a memory a memory, what makes one more memorable than the other, besides significance to the person experiencing what would become the memory...like perhaps things occuring in a certain state of mind, or if the presence/absence of certain chemicals or neurotransmitters effect memory formation/retention. Again, for all I know this might be a well researched understood area in neuroscience...but it's one I'd be interested in learning more about.

I find the god helmet line of research of value because of the constant threat that religiosity has posed to free societies. Today we are faced with a mind numbing debate over a cultural center built on private property 2 city blocks from the site of one of the greatest uninvestigated crime scenes of all time. As a nihilist atheist anarchist hobbyist-socioanthropologist, I encourage any research that can further investigate the seeming organic manifestation of our search for g0d. I got distracted in following the trail of threads and videos and forgot where I saw the guy talking about how, as we became more self aware, the inevitability of death would create so much anxiety that we evolved a sense of permanence to balance that shit out. Good stuff. But, yeah, you worked in neurotransmitters so GOY. |
