  This study found electroencephalographic indications of increased restful alertness during and after the practice of the Transcendental Meditation technique, as measured by increased stability of alpha activity, increased beta power, and reduced slow-wave delta and theta power during the practice of Transcendental Meditation, and the persistence of these EEG spectral distribution changes immediately after the practice.

  This study reports increased amplitude of cortical and brain stem responses to somatosensory stimuli during the Transcendental Meditation technique in comparison to the control period prior to practice.
