Autonomous neural network activation during religious worship experiences using heart rate variability measurements
Previous studies have suggested that religious experiences in worship demand an attentional control that facilitates the desired state of mind, and that there is a systemic activation of a person's peripheral physiology at play. The present validation study hypothesized that the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) is activated during the experience. For this, 60 participants took part in an experiment with some religious and secular conditions where…
Physiological Foundations for Religious Experiences in Devotional Worship Practices with Music Using Heart Rate and Respiration Rate Analyses
The present study investigates the psychophysiological activation patterns of religious experiences in worship practices using Heart Rate (HR) and Respiratory Rate (RR) analyses. For this, 60 evangelical individuals participated in an experiment where they worshipped to six selected conditions and continuously indicated how strongly they sensed what they believed to be the presence of God. These ratings were correlated with the biometric data to …
