  Jedrczak, A.; Beresford, M.; and Clements, G. The TM-Sidhi program, pure consciousness, creativity and intelligence. The Journal of Creative Behavior 19(4): 270–275, 1985.

  The number of months practicing the TM-Sidhi program and the clarity of TM-Sidhi experiences were associated with higher creativity and intelligence.

  Beresford, M.; and Clements, G. Real time EEG coherence analysis of the Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi Programme. Department of Neurophysiology, MERU Research Institute, Mentmore, Buckinghamshire, England, 1983.

  Increases in EEG coherence were found from an eyes-closed pre-control period to the practice of the Transcendental Meditation technique, and from the practice of Transcendental Meditation to the practice of the TM-Sidhi techniques, while a decrease was found from the practice of the TM-Sidhi techniques to a post-control period with eyes closed, indicating that the Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi program increases the orderliness of neurological functioning.

  This study demonstrates the importance of EEG coherence in relation to the improvements in age-related psychological variables which are known to result from the practice of the Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi program, thus emphasizing the importance of neurophysiological integration in the reversal of aging.
