В статье представлен обзор результатов исследований, посвященных нейробиологическим подходам к изучению религиозно-мистических переживаний. Нейротеология претендует на создание нейробиологических моделей религиозной веры, предполагающих каузальную взаимосвязь процессов в головном мозге с духовно-мистическими переживаниями. Проведен анализ существующих данных и гипотез в области нейротеологии с точки зрения методологии научного познания.

The review deals with the results of studies, devoted to neurobiological approaches to the investigation of religious-mystical experiences. Neurotheologylays a claim to creation of neurobiological models of religious faith, presupposing causal interconnection of processes in the brain and spiritual-mystical experiences. The analysis of the existing data and hypotheses in the field of neurotheology was performed from the viewpoint of methodology of scientific perception.
