The Varieties of Spiritual Experience
Spiritual experiences have occurred in people around the world and throughout history, up to and including the present day. The founders of every major religion described them, philosophers since the ancient Greeks have pondered them, and according to recent Gallup polls, about 30% of people in the United States and the United Kingdom still report them. A century ago, in The Varieties of Religious Experience, philosopher and psychologist William …

The Relationship Between Spirituality and the Developing Brain
SPECT Functional Neuroimaging Distinguishes Adult Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder From Healthy Controls in Big Data Imaging Cohorts
Background: The diagnosis of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) relies on history and observation, as no reliable biomarkers have been identified. In this study, we compared a large single diagnosis group of patients with ADHD (combined, inattentive, and hyperactive) to healthy controls using brain perfusion single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) imaging to determine specific brain regions which could serve as potential b…
The relationship between the brain and spirituality with respect to aging and neurodegenerative diseases
This article reviews and synthesizes the current data on the relationship between the brain and religion and spirituality, with regard to aging and neurodegenerative diseases. Specifically, we consider how religious and spiritual beliefs, attitudes, and practices might be affected by the aging process on the brain, particularly when neurodegenerative diseases occur. Various practices such as meditation or prayer also are associated with brain pro…
Comparison of Different Measures of Religiousness and Spirituality
The neuroscientific study of religious and spiritual phenomena requires the development of methodologies that can target both the biological as well as the subjective dimensions of such phenomena. The purpose of the current study was to compare various subjective questionnaires evaluating neuropsychological dimensions of religiosity. Many scales and questionnaires have been developed over the years, but they have rarely been compared to each othe…
Development and Evaluation of the Belief Acceptance Scale
The Belief Acceptance Scale (BAS) is a nine question scale that was developed to evaluate how open and accepting an individual is to other people’s beliefs across interdependent life domains. The purposes of this article are to demonstrate the internal consistency of the BAS and examine the instrument’s substructure and to correlate the BAS with validated measures of religiosity and demographic data gathered from a web-based Survey of Spiritual E…
Specific Ways Brain SPECT Imaging Enhances Clinical Psychiatric Practice
Our objective was to ascertain in a prospective case series how often brain single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) neuroimaging adds relevant information for diagnosis and/or treatment beyond current standard assessment tools in complex psychiatric cases. Charts of 109 consecutively evaluated outpatients from four psychiatrics clinics that routinely utilize SPECT imaging for complex cases were analyzed in two stages. In stage one, psy…
