From the article: "The brain activity changed only in response to prayers they were told came from the healer."
In other words, it's not the perception of prayer. It's the perception of supernatural intervention. Totally misleading title.
- DrSprout 17y agoActually, it's less than that. It's your perception of the healer. In other words, people don't think skeptically about people they trust. Essentially a tautology, only confirming that those are the regions of the brain involved in skepticism.
