Bridging the gap between neuroscience and spirituality
It seems like there's a gap between our current understanding of neuroscience and spirituality (whether secular or not) Researchers such as Dr. Bessel van der Kolk (author of "The Body Keeps the Score") have touched on the topic in the context of trauma. For me personally, spirituality helped me let go of insomnia and sleep anxiety where traditional techniques such as CBT-i not only failed but made things worse. Do you have thoughts on this topic? Would you be interested in doing research in this area? Thank you :)
Research on aggression
In your podcast about aggression you mentioned the connection between Cortisol and Testosterone levels. There was this one research where different professions had been compared. Fireman tend to have higher cortisol levels but less testosterone however when you think of the summer season vs winter it was said that cortisol levels are high in winter, less sun etc contributed to heightened susceptibility towards aggression. It would be very interesting to know how that mechanism works and the relation between cortisol and testosterone. And by the way: is heat contributing to aggression and how? It is widely believed that it does contribute to heightened aggression (especially thinking of it as a possible hazard because of climate change in the future). However when you think of the seasonal susceptibility ist that assumption really reliable?
