Alexander, C. N.; Larimore, W. E.; Dash, P.; Titus, B.; and Israelson, L. Distinguishing between Transcendental Meditation, sleep and other forms of rest according to electrophysiological criteria. Findings presented at the Midwestern Psychological Association Meeting, Chicago, Illinois, USA, May 1987.
