The following article appeared in Psychology Today, July 3, 2021 :
"Is the “God Spot” Rooted Far Below Our Brain’s Thinking Cap? Spirituality and religiosity may be tied to circuits rooted in the brainstem.

The lead on this is Dr. Michael Ferguson, PhD, a Harvard and Cornell-trained neuroscientist working on neurospirituality. Below are his citations:

The BIG QUESTION is, how will the findings of Dr. Ferguson's research stand up to peer review. He even teaches a course on neurospirituality at Harvard. What I find interesting is this kind of research is actually going on.
We may call it legit, or we may call it bogus. Regardless what we call it, it is happening.
