Zitat: | Sie haben rausgefunden, dass Fundichristen sich gegenüber Personen, von denen sie glauben, dass sie besondere Heilkräfte haben, wie unter Hypnose verhalten. Die Hirndurchblutung zeigt an, dass sie Teile ihres Hirns weitgehend deaktivieren. Es geht hier natürlich nicht um Christen, sondern generell darum, wie unsere Annahmen über den Gegenüber unser Gehirn beeinflussen. Bei den Christen konnte man das nur besonders einfach messen. |

Zitat: | At the beginning of the experiment, the subjects were told that the researchers were studying the effects on the brain of intercessory prayer (a type of prayer in which the speaker appeals to God on behalf of someone else). Next, each listened to eighteen different prayers read by three different male speakers (as a control condition, the participants also listened to recordings of secular speeches, structurally similar to prayers but containing no religious content).
Before each 30-second prayer was played, participants were told that the person they were about to hear was either
1) a non-Christian,
2) an “ordinary” Christian, or
3) a Christian known for his healing powers.
(The truth? All the speakers were “ordinary” Christians who believed in God, but were not known for any divine powers.) |
Zitat: | Among the non-religious subjects, there was no significant difference in brain activity no matter which recording they were listening to. Secular statements and prayers read by people they believed to be non-Christians, Christians, and Christians with healing powers all produced similar-looking scans.
Among the religious subjects, the contrast between two sets of scans caught Schjoedt’s eye. When he compared fMRI images of religious subjects listening to what they thought were non-Christians vs. Christians known for their healing powers, it was clear that there were marked differences in the BOLD response in certain areas. These included the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, the medial prefrontal cortex, the temporoparietal junction, the inferior temporal cortex and the lateral orbitofrontal region. |
