Horizon: God on the Brain

on BBC Two England

Temporal lobe epilepsy is a brain disorder said to have been suffered by religious leaders, and research suggests a cerebral network processes religious experiences. Dr Michael Persinger claims he can kindle such a feeling in anyone by stimulating their temporal lobe - but can he persuade devout atheist Professor Richard Dawkins that religion, like sex or eating, is part of our human make-up? Producer Liz Tucker : Editor Matthew Barrett
