Studying the reaction of brain activity during prayer, while analyzing electrical impulses, a scientist from Denmark concluded that those who pray when asking the Lord perceive him as a real person, but when a person turns to him with a memorized prayer, the picture looks somewhat different.
The scientific results of a study by neuropsychologist Uffe Schjodt from the University of Aarhus have been published in New Scientist. This experience involved a group of believers who first prayed to God, and then they were asked to make requests to fictional beings. The result showed that the appeal to mythical images as opposed to God was registered by the devices as fictitious.
When those praying turned to the Lord in their own words, the same impulses arose during prayer as when talking with a loved one. The subjects even tried to imagine the interlocutor's reaction to their words, and the devices indicated impulses, as if they were talking to a living person. The effect of a memorized prayer was the same as that of a memorized poem: the same parts of the brain were involved.
