Growing frontal EEG coherence
hese computer-generated drawings illustrate coherence in the alpha range. The lighter lines indicate coherence or communication between the two indicated brain areas of about 70%. Heavier lines indicate coherence of 80% or higher. (100% is perfect coherence.)
With every experience we have, the brain must integrate this new experience with past experience, formulate it into a whole, and develop a response. So the more effectively the various areas of the brain communicate and work together, the better the brain performs.8
Coherence in the brain’s executive control center reaches a high level after two months of Transcendental Meditation practice . . . Eyes closed
