The God Part of the Brain

A Scientific Interpretation of Human Spirituality and God
Book • 2008
In 'The God Part of the Brain', Matthew Alper presents a groundbreaking hypothesis that human spirituality and belief in a higher power can be attributed to specific brain functions.

The book invites readers to contemplate profound questions about existence, faith, and the human mind.
