EEG coherence was found to be positively correlated with mathematics grades in students practicing Transcendental Meditation. EEG coherence has previously been found to increase as a result of Transcendental Meditation and to correlate with clarity of experience of unbounded awareness. Taken together, these findings emphasize the intimate relationship between higher states of consciousness, neurophysiological integration, and intellectual performance.
