UCL Neuroscience Society's first talk of the 2017/18 academic year!

Is there a "God Spot" in our brains or do religious individuals think of their deitys in the same way they think of everyday people? Is God nothing more than just electrical signalling traveling across our neurons? Or is science simply confused and incapable of providing substantial evidence? 

Prof. Alasdair Coles is an academic neurologist at the University of Cambridge who has an interest in the neurological basis for religious experience. In this talk Prof. Coles will discuss functional brain imaging which has suggests that the brain mediates religious belief, behaviour and practice. Whatever the answer, this groundbreaking and provocative talk is certain to be interesting.  

As our first talk of the year, this event is FREE ENTRY FOR EVERYONE.
