At first I thought of naming this post as 'Cause of The Big Bang Found' and wanted to expand that the real cause of the Big Bang is 'Temporal Lobe Epillepsy'! (meaning the Creator is due to it). But then I realised it would be trivialising the work of many who are pursuing their work in all earnestness and sincerity.
Recent investigations by neuroscientists have found indications to suggest that temporal lobe activity in the brain could be the reason for 'spiritual experiences' that people are supposed to experience. They find that there is great variation in such activity in temporal lobes in various people and can range from non-sensitive to highly sensitive. The more sensitive individuals are likely to be more prone to spiritual experiences that can range from a feeling of 'some presence' to actual hallucinatory visions.
Prof. Vilayanur Ramachandran, a famous neuroscientist of the University of California in San Diego subjected various subjects to galvanic skin response studies and found that people with unusual temporal lobe activity reacted to words suggestive of 'sex' with a lower value and words suggestive of 'religion' with a higher value - which is supposed to be the reverse of what is usually seen in 'normal' people.
A Canadian doctor Dr. Michael Persinger of Laurentian University has subjected a many human subjects to variable intensities of electromagnetic fields and is eager to report his findings.
I give the link below to a very interesting video pertaining to studies conducted in the field of spiritual experiences, electromagnetism and temporal lobe epilepsy.

This doesn't explain the phenomenon of actual material objects also appearing in conjunction with 'hallucinatory' visual images as it is seen to happen in the case of Smt. Shanthamma of whom I've mentioned in earlier blogs.
