Research Volunteers Needed

Sam Harris is preparing to run another fMRI study of belief and disbelief, and he needs volunteers to help him refine his experimental stimuli. This promises to be the first study of religious faith at the level of the brain. By responding to the four surveys he has posted online, you can make an enormous contribution to this work.

Please answer as many of the surveys as you can. If you only have time to answer one, please choose at random (otherwise, we will have many more responses to the first than to the others).

Feel free to post this message to your blog or to forward the relevant links to your friends. We especially need Christians to respond, as one of the goals of these surveys is to design stimuli that a majority of Christians will find doctrinally sound.

The survey is available at: http://www.samharris.org/
