Wallace, R. K.; Orme-Johnson, D. W.; Mills, P. J.; Dillbeck, M. C.; and Jacobe, E. The relationship between the paired Hoffman reflex and academic achievement in participants of the Transcendental Meditation (TM) Program. Departments of Biology and Psychology, Maharishi International University, Fairfield, Iowa, USA, 1980.
The paired H reflex was found to be correlated with academic achievement in subjects practicing Transcendental Meditation. Previous studies have shown that clear experiences during the Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi program are correlated with faster H-reflex recovery, as well as with higher EEG coherence, greater creativity, and more flexible performance on concept learning. Taken together, these findings emphasize the intimate relationship between the experience of higher states of consciousness and improvements in physiological and psychological functioning.
