RESEARCH PUBLICATIONS AND BOOKS
Dr. Morse has always been involved with research, primarily having to do with human consciousness. He has studied near death experiences, the spirituality of death and dying, spiritual neuroscience, and spiritual sight, a meditative practice. He has published ground breaking research on energy healing. He identified that humans have a "god spot", an area of the brain that links them to the divine that is both within us and which we are a part.
His primary interest has been working with grieving parents. He feels an obligation to present these sacred stories of encountering a loving god at the point of death especially for those struggling to comprehend the loss of a child.

This book documents the existence of The God Spot, an area in the brain which connects us to the divine. The French edition won the European Book Prize for Best Non Fiction Book in 2006.
Dr. Morse's Philosophy has always been that if one is to study cutting edge research areas such as spiritual vision and energy healing, it is mandatory to publish in mainstream scientific journals with peer review. As super skeptic Michael Shermer points out, that is the only way to legitimize fringe sciences into the mainstream
