ABOUT US
Our group focuses on the neuroscience of rhythmic brain in relation to the Holy Quran and well-known melodic recitation as revealed by the Prophet (PBUH).
The aim is to elucidate and explore the underlying neural correlates of the affective effects known to be associated with the melodic rhythmic recitation of the Holy Quran by the believers.
