#18 Brain Scanning Spirituality

Doctors in Business

This week, we hear from a doc who is and has been doing some really interesting research in neurotheology, a field that studies the neuroscience of religious and spiritual beliefs. This director of integrative health at Jefferson University Hospital will tell us how he came to these interests, what they mean for his life and medical practice, and what they mean for humanity. Let’s sit down with Dr. Andrew Newberg to hear what he has to say. At Doctors Who Create, our podcasts are brought to you by Darlina Liu and Shiv Nadkarni. Music for this episode is credited to the band, Nightfloat, and YouTube's audio library. As always, please tweet us with any questions, comments, or feedback. We hope you enjoy this episode! Correction: In my first question, I ask Dr. Newberg about what got him interested in pioneering a field like "neuroethology." This should be "neurotheology."
