The Soul of the Brain

A Neuroscientific Exploration of Spirituality
From the author of the bestseller Our Aging Brain
Why do so many people believe in something higher? In The Soul of the Brain, André Aleman explores the connection between faith and neuroscience. Is spirituality ingrained in our brains or is it a product of culture and experience? The renowned neuroscientist shows that our religious beliefs are closely linked to brain activity, but at the same time emphasizes that spirituality is more than just a product of our brains.
In doing so, Aleman sheds new light on one of humanity’s most important and oldest questions: is there more than we can perceive?

‘Alemans’ merit is that he clearly knows what he is talking about and that he can separate sense from nonsense.’ – Het Financieele Dagblad on Our Aging Brain
