Speaking in Tongues Study

[biblemanryan]

Recently, a study was published on what goes on in a person's brain while they are speaking in tongues. Below are some links, the last of which is to the actual study, but you have to pay if you want to read it/have a copy.

The basic synopsis is that the subjects were not in control of the usual centers of speech during speaking in tongues aka. glossolalia.

Well, I was just going to link to the brain image, but for some reason it won't link right. So, here is a link to the NY Times story. If you look to the immediate left of the beginning of the text, you can click on the brain scan image, and it will pull up the comparison.
