Dr. Sarah Strand returns over Zoom to discuss the neurobiological basis of out-of-body experiences (OBEs), beginning with a description and testimony given by those who have had an OBE, then a brief tour of the brain and the neuroanatomy responsible for OBEs. While OBEs are not always interpreted as religious, there is a compelling neurobiological explanation for why they often are. The presentation will conclude with a discussion of the implications of these findings on the role of religion in the lives of individuals as well as in our worldwide community. Dr. Strand is an associate lecturer in the Psychology Department at California State University, Sacramento. She received her Ph.D. in Behavioral Neuroscience from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, and has been lecturing about religion and neuroscience since 2010. In 2019, she created a Psychology of Religion course for Sacramento State, and in 2022, extended her teaching to Finland and Sweden.
