Unpublished doctoral dissertation, Department of Clinical Neurophysiology of the Clinics for Neurology, Psychiatry, Alcoholism and Other Abuses of the Clinical Hospital ‘Sestre Milosrdnice’, Zagreb University, Zagreb, Croatia, 1992.

  This study found that those practicing the Transcendental Meditation program display the following characteristics of auditory evoked brain potentials associated with reduction of the usual effects of aging: increased amplitude and decreased latency of P300 brain potentials correlated with length of time practicing Transcendental Meditation; greater amplitude of response prior to Transcendental Meditation in comparison to controls; shorter latency of response following Transcendental Meditation in comparison to controls and in comparison to before the practice.

  Travis, F. and Miskov, S. p300 latency and amplitude during eyes-closed rest and Transcendental Meditation practice. Summary of a paper presented at the 34th Annual Meeting of the Society for Psychophysiological Research, Atlanta, Georgia, USA, October 1994. (Also refer to Psychophysiology 31 (Suppl.): S98 (Abstract), 1994.)

  This study found significantly shorter latency of auditory evoked potentials after practice of the Transcendental Meditation program, in comparison to after-eyes-closed rest among the same subjects, indicating greater efficiency of information transfer in the brain.
