Neuroscience of transcendence and non-ordinary experiences

This research line examines the neuroscience of transcendence and non-ordinary experiences, focusing on the neural, cognitive, and emotional processes underlying states such as awe, unity, and spiritual insight. It investigates how these states emerge from the brain-body-experience dynamic, how they interact with value systems and meaning-making, and how they influence mental health, well-being, and moral cognition across cultural contexts.
