  brain as it pertains specifically to Judaism.&nbsp\; This talk will prese
 nt cutting edge results from our brain scan studies of meditation and pray
 er\, as well as a survey of Rabbi’s religious and spiritual beliefs.&nbs
 p\; This talk will highlight how Jewish thought\, beliefs and practices in
 tersect with the human brain.&nbsp\;\n\nDr. Newberg has been particularly 
 involved in the study of mystical and religious experiences… a field ref
 erred to as “neurotheology”.&nbsp\; He has also studied the more gener
 al mind body relationship and other types of alternative therapies.&nbsp\;
  He has actively pursued a number of neuroimaging research projects which 
 have included the study of aging and dementia as well as other neurologica
