Scientific Research by Dr. Robert Keith Wallace

TITLE: The physiology of higher states of consciousness.

Summary: The author delineates the empirically measurable physiological correlates of higher states of consciousness.

WALLACE, R. K. The physiology of higher states of consciousness. Paper presented at the Conference on Higher States of Consciousness: Theoretical and experimental perspectives, Chicago, August, 1991.
Recent Research 484.


TITLE: The physiology of meditation: A review.

Summary: Based upon a wide spectrum of physiological data on TM made available by previous research, the authors hypothesize that meditation is an integrated response with peripheral circulatory and metabolic changes subserving increased central nervous activity, and discuss probable objective markers of clear experience of samadhi or pure consciousness as the subjectively identifiable goal of meditation.

TITLE: Vedic physiology.

Summary: The fundamental principle of Vedic Physiology is that consciousness is the basis of physiology. This paper outlines and reviews the expression of consciousness at each level of the physiology and reviews research on physiological correlates of higher states of consciousness developed through the Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi program.

TITLE: Recent biochemical and physiological research on the Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi program: Clinical and epidemiological applications.

Summary: This paper provides an extensive discussion of electrophysiological and biochemical research on the Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi program, including some interesting findings on EEG coherence not previously reported in the literature.

TITLE: Neurophysiology of enlightenment. Paper presented at the 26th International Congress of Physiological Sciences, New Delhi, India, October 1974.

 

Summary: This contribution outlines the broad historical implications of scientific research on the Transcendental Meditation program for developing enlightened individuals, an enlightened society, cultural integrity, and world peace.

Reversal of Aging Through the Transcendental Meditation Technique

Biological Age measures how old a person is physiologically. As a group, long term meditators who had been practicing Maharishi TM program for more than 5 years were physiologically 12 years younger than their chronological age, as measured by lower blood pressure, and better near point vision and auditory discrimination. Short term meditators were physiologically 5 years younger than their chronological age. The study statistically controlled for the effects of diet and exercise.
