St. Petersburg neurophysiologists have discovered the 4th mind brain state – a prayerful waking
Moscow, January 28, Interfax – Neuro- and psychophysiologists of the Bekhterev psycho-neurological scientific research institute in St. Petersburg have discovered a new mind brain state which is a prayerful waking.
The scientists kept studied electronic encephalograms made at the moment when clergymen of various confessions prayed. Rhythm of brain biological currents significantly slows down during the prayer: the brain is almost switched off and the state different from basic working brain phases (rapid eye movement, slow sleep and waking) comes, the Komsomolskaya Pravda daily reports.
‘When the examined prayed, their biological current rhythms slowed down to just 3 hertz. These slow rhythms are called ‘delta-rhythms’ and are characteristic only of infants under two-three months… From neuropsychological point, praying people somehow regress to childhood,’ research director professor Valery Slezin notes.
According to him, pathological links between brain neurons are destroyed during the prayer, because a person stops thinking about his decease and sometimes it results in total recovery of death-sick people.
‘Science knows cancer cases cured, but they should be subjected to more detailed examination. However, your prayer and faith should be sincere, ardent, heartfelt, otherwise there will be no curative effect,’ the professor believes.
