Hemispheric Symmetry of the Eeg during the Transcendental Meditation Technique
نویسنده
چکیده
Interhemispheric symmetry of the EEG was studied in three groups, each with six subjects, using a Neurodata S.A. 2100 symmetry analyzer with frontal or parietal electrode placements. After eyes-open and eyes-closed precontrol periods, the experimental group practiced Transcendental Meditation while the one control group was instructed to relax as deeply as possible and the other to concentrate as intently as possible.

Orme-johnson Electrophysiological and Eeg Changes: High Eeg Coherence Events
Periods of overall high EEG coherence were found during the practice of the Transcendental Meditation technique. These periods of high coherence were correlated with the subjective experience of pure consciousness, the simplest state of awareness, during Transcendental Meditation. The author proposes that the state of pure consciousness corresponds to the ground state of central nervous system ...

The spontaneous bioelectrical activity of the brain was studied during the Transcendental Meditation (TM) technique by analog and digital spectral analysis. Time trends of spectral EEG content evaluated by Fourier and Walsh spectral arrays were compared with time domain descriptors. Both methods gave similar results in EEG dynamics staging. During Transcendental Meditation, high amplitude, symm...

Computerized spectral analysis and qualitative reports determined distinctions among the EEG records during Transcendental Meditation, the different sleep stages, and waking in meditators and controls. Speculations were formulated concerning the possibility that the changes in consciousness induced during the process of Transcendental Meditation may carry over into waking, dreaming, and sleep s...

This study compared EEG and autonomic patterns during transcending to "other" experiences during Transcendental Meditation (TM) practice. To correlate specific meditation experiences with physiological measures, the experimenter rang a bell three times during the TM session. Subjects categorized their experiences around each bell ring. Transcending, in comparison to "other" experiences during T...
