Resources in Neuroscience and Neuro-education (a new field) that may influence our understanding of discipleship in the future. This page provides exploratory as well as grounded research that seeks to understand how neuroscience may influence our 1) discernment of religious experience, 2) shaping formational practices and 3) judging moral implications as neuroscience transforms practices in the world (i.e. neuro-ethics).
