Focuses on rigorous empirical investigation of Qur’an reading, listening, recitation, memorisation, contemplation, and psycho-spiritual engagement in relation to cognitive, psychological, behavioural, physiological, neurological, and well-being outcomes. The theme supports experimental, quasi-experimental, observational, correlational, longitudinal, qualitative, mixed-methods, and evidence-synthesis research involving outcomes such as memory, attention, concentration, reaction time, anxiety, stress, relaxation, pain, emotional state, quality of life, behavioural performance, and psycho-spiritual well-being. It also accommodates neurophysiological research using EEG, event-related potentials (ERP), spectral analysis, brain topography, physiological monitoring, and computational classification.
