Hey all.  I am a senior at Haverford college, majoring in biology here at Bryn Mawr, with a minor in physics back at the Ford.  I am particularily interested in the way in which depression affects behavior and thoughts and descerning how the biological/mechanical/physical (not sure what the right word here is) processes of the brain affect the mind (the non-physical aspects of the brain) in the form of emotions and thoughts.  I am also interested in defining what a spiritual experience is in terms of the brain.  More specifically along these lines, how does something like meditation or prayer affect the brain?  These are at least some of my initial interests in the subject.
