  Paired H-reflex recovery was found to be correlated with EEG coherence and academic performance in participants in the Transcendental Meditation program.

  Wallace, R. K.; Dillbeck, M.; Jacobe, E.; and Harrington, B. The effects of the Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi Program on the aging process. International Journal of Neuroscience 16: 53–58, 1982.

  The Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi program was found to reverse the aging process. The mean biological age of short-term meditators was found to be 5 years younger, and that of long-term meditators 12 years younger, than expected from population norms. A correlation was found between length of time practicing the Transcendental Meditation program and younger biological age.

  The amplitude of the paired H reflex was facilitated as a result of the TM-Sidhi program, indicating improved neurological efficiency.

  Wallace, R. K.; Orme-Johnson, D. W.; Mills, P. J.; Dillbeck, M. C.; and Jacobe, E. The relationship between the paired Hoffman reflex and academic achievement in participants of the Transcendental Meditation (TM) Program. Departments of Biology and Psychology, Maharishi International University, Fairfield, Iowa, USA, 1980.

  The paired H reflex was found to be correlated with academic achievement in subjects practicing Transcendental Meditation. Previous studies have shown that clear experiences during the Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi program are correlated with faster H-reflex recovery, as well as with higher EEG coherence, greater creativity, and more flexible performance on concept learning. Taken together, these findings emphasize the intimate relationship between the experience of higher states of consciousness and improvements in physiological and psychological functioning.
