God in your brain: Scans show more activity when religious people meditate | Mail Online: "These images show what happens to the brain when religious people think about God.

Scientist Dr. Andrew Newberg conducted brain scans on people during prayer, meditation and other religious, rituals, and various trance states.

He is a proponent of a controversial field of science known as neurotheology, which tries to study the relationship between the brain and religion.

As part of his research, Newberg studied the brain activity of experienced Tibetan Buddhists before and during meditation."
