I don't know. Most of the physiological studies done on TM are pretty decent (except for the really early ones). It's the psychological and social studies that are deeply flawed because of lack of control groups. They are considered pilot studies that reveal a correlation between TM and some measured variables but the TMO always touts them around as if they demonstrates causality.
