“…This research did not find any enhanced relationship between attention-to-detail and systemizing, as attention-to-detail was found to be increased in adults with epilepsy while systemizing was not. However, increased attention-to-detail supported previous evidence of a compulsive attention-to-detail in TLE (Bear & Fedio, 1977). There are no previous studies of systemizing abilities in epilepsy, but these results are inconsistent with previous evidence that enhanced attention-to-detail may be a pre-requisite for systemizing in those with higher autistic traits (Baron-Cohen et al, 2003).…”

“…Swinkels, Kuyk, van Dyck and Spinhoven (2005) state that while many epilepsy patients do not meet criteria for a specific personality disorder, they show some typical personality oddities that are not necessarily maladaptive. An earlier study by Bear and Fedio (1977) aimed to develop a personality trait inventory consisting of 18 traits for TLE: the Bear-Fedio Inventory (BFI). All 18 traits were increased in patients with TLE compared to healthy or neurological controls.…”

“…It would be pertinent to investigate social skills in adults with epilepsy. In addition, a heightened attention-todetail in TLE has been suggested but empirical evidence is lacking (Bear & Fedio, 1977).…”

To figure out whether the main empirical question "Is our brain hardwired to believe in and produce God, or is our brain hardwired to perceive and experience God?" is answered, this paper presents systematic critical review of the positions, arguments and controversies of each side of the neuroscientific-theological debate and puts forward an integral view where the human is seen as a psycho-somatic entity consisting of the multiple levels and dimensions of human existence (physical, biological, psychological, and spiritual reality), allowing consciousness/mind/spirit and brain/body/matter to be seen as different sides of the same phenomenon, neither reducible to each other. The emergence of a form of causation distinctive from physics where mental/conscious agency (a) is neither identical with nor reducible to brain processes and (b) does exert "downward" causal influence on brain plasticity and the various levels of brain functioning is discussed. This manuscript also discusses the role of cognitive processes in religious experience and outlines what can neuroscience offer for study of religious experience and what is the significance of this study for neuroscience, clinicians, theology and philosophy. A methodological shift from "explanation" to "description" of religious experience is suggested. This paper contributes to the ongoing discussion between theologians, cognitive psychologists and neuroscientists.
