Religion Brain & Behavior is an interdisciplinary academic journal that focuses on scientific research on the relationship between religious phenomena and human brain and behavior. This journal aims to become a leading platform for publishing interdisciplinary research on religious beliefs, behaviors, and experiences in psychology, neuroscience, sociology, anthropology, and cognitive science.

The core goal of the journal is to promote a deeper understanding of religious experiences and their impact on human cognition and behavior. It encourages empirical research and theoretical exploration, which should follow strict scientific standards and have a profound understanding and comprehension of religious academic research. This includes research on how religious beliefs and practices affect the cognitive processes, emotional responses, decision-making, and social behavior of individuals and groups. Special attention is paid to using neuroscience methods to explore the biological basis of religious experiences, such as studying brain activity patterns during religious activities through functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), electroencephalography (EEG), and other neuroimaging techniques. These studies help to reveal the connection between religious experience and brain function.
