Beresford, M.; Jedrczak, A.; Toomey, M.; and Clements, G. EEG coherence, age-related psychological variables, and the Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi Programme. Departments of Neurophysiology and Psychology, MERU Research Institute, Mentmore, Buckinghamshire, England, 1983.

This study demonstrates the importance of EEG coherence in relation to the improvements in age-related psychological variables which are known to result from the practice of the Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi program, thus emphasizing the importance of neurophysiological integration in the reversal of aging.
