Is This Your Brain on God?

I've been interested in meditation, mysticism and Eastern religion/philosophy for a while. It's exciting to see how modern science is beginning to have the tools to see what happens inside the brain as people dream, medititate and have "spiritual" experiences. Is "god" really just chemistry or a side effect of how our brains are wired?

This article from NPR offers a fun way to dig into the various NPR segments, books, etc. that touch on this topic.
