The goal of the Neuroscience of Spirituality Study was to use advanced neuroscience techniques, including task-based and resting-state functional neuroimaging, to provide foundational contributions to our understanding of neural regions and processes connected to spirituality and mental health. To achieve study goals, we utilized functional neuroimaging and behavioral paradigms from experimental psychology in combination  with computational modeling.
