Alexander, C. N.; and Larimore, W. E. Distinguishing between Transcendental Meditation and sleep according to electrophysiological criteria. Department of Psychology and Social Relations, Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA, and The Analytic Sciences Corporation, Reading, Massachusetts, USA, 1981.
More powerful statistical re-analyses of the data of Pagano et al. (1976) revealed significant differences in the EEG distributions of the Transcendental Meditation technique and `napping'. Other studies indicating similar differences are discussed.
