| Using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), Beauregard seeks to pinpoint the brain areas that are active while the nuns recall the most powerful religious epiphany of their lives, a time they experienced a profound connection with the divine. The question: Is there a God spot in the brain? |

| Nope. As has been pointed out elsewhere (poke around the blogosphere), the test sought out the brain areas for remembering a "powerful religious epiphany," and not the areas associated with an actual epiphany occuring. How this would find a "God spot" is anyone's guess. |

Trial and error, by stimulating activity?
I seem to recall a science program on TV where they used electro-magnets to produce/initiate experiences of some kind of presence. Maybe if they find the right spot it could become a "religious" experience. |
