  Haynes, C. T.; Hebert, J. R.; Reber, W.; and Orme-Johnson, D. W. The psychophysiology of advanced participants in the Transcendental Meditation Program: Correlations of EEG coherence, creativity, H-reflex recovery, and experience of transcendental consciousness. Psychophysiology Laboratory, Centre for the Study of Higher States of Consciousness, Maharishi European Research University, Switzerland, 1976.

  High EEG coherence, high creativity, rapid neuromuscular recovery, and experience of transcendental consciousness are all correlated in individuals participating in an advanced Transcendental Meditation program.

  Banquet, J. P.; Haynes, C.; Hebert, R.; and Reber, B. Analysis of sleep in altered states of consciousness by classical EEG and coherence spectra. Electroencephalography and Clinical Neurophysiology 43(4): 503 (abstract), 1977.

  The phrase `altered states of consciousness' in the title of this paper refers to higher states of consciousness developed through the Transcendental Meditation program. Subjects practicing Transcendental Meditation were found to require less sleep during the night than controls. In addition, the number of sleep stages was fewer and their duration shorter, except for stage 1, which was longer. EEG coherence showed a progressive decrease during sleep, while high levels of coherence were seen during the practice of Transcendental Meditation.
