Our students have the option to receive periodic Brain Integration Progress Reports so they can see how their brain functioning improves during their college years.

A research study recently published in the International Journal of Neuroscience found that students at Maharishi University began displaying a remarkably high level of alpha coherence — especially in the frontal areas of the brain — after only two months of effortless practice of the Transcendental Meditation (TM) technique. The frontal areas serve as the “CEO” of the brain that controls and guides the rest of the brain.

Brain coherence during activity

The study also found that our students displayed higher levels of brain wave coherence even after meditation, during the day. Over the year of the study, students showed increasingly high levels of frontal coherence while they were performing challenging computer tasks.

Developing the brain’s total potential

Why is brainwave coherence important? The greater your brain’s coherence, the greater your intelligence, creativity, and learning ability. You are using more of your brain’s total potential.

This growth of coherence results from transcending — gaining the state of restful alertness — during Transcendental Meditation practice.

The Brain Integration Progress Report enables students to see for themselves how their own brainwave coherence is increasing.
