Harung and Travis Theme: Transcendental Meditation technique and how it leads to greater brain integration Research on what’s special about the brains of world-class performers Whether athletes, musicians, executives, or scholars, some people just stand out. And research shows that their brains differ in specific ways from those who are less accomplished.
Dr. Harald Harung from Oslo Metropolitan University talked about the amazing complexity of the human brain and the discovery of Dr. Fred Travis at Maharishi University of Management of a way to use EEG to measure how effectively one’s brain functions. His “Brain Integration Scale” shows that high brain integration is associated with high performance. Dr. Harung then discussed the reasons one might think would lead to world-class performance, such as education, incentives, experience, and practice. But extensive research has found that these factors can only account for a small fraction of the success of high performing individuals. An integrated brain is the key, according to three studies by Drs. Harung and Travis. They studied top Olympic athletes, professional orchestral musicians, and highly successful executives. These top performers tended to have greater brain integration than those with more ordinary levels of achievement. The question, then, is how to develop brain integration. Research by Dr. Travis has found that the Transcendental Meditation technique results in substantial brain integration. The diagram below shows the brain integration of world-class performers compared to those who are average. And by way of comparison, individuals who had been practicing Transcendental Meditation an average of 24 years had almost the double brain integration of the world-class performers. Dr. Harung explained how transcending affects the brain, and how this approach to meditation has specific effects not seen in other meditations. In their short book World-Class Brain, Drs. Harung and Travis offer a readable introduction to the brain, and give an accessible overview of their three studies. They show that brain integration is not only associated with high performance, but also with greater moral behaviour and a higher frequency of peak experiences. The book explains in greater detail what brain integration is and discusses ways to develop it, ultimately focusing on the special benefits of the Transcendental Meditation technique and how it leads to greater brain integration. It includes a chapter on peak experiences and higher states of consciousness, as outlined by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, and describes Dr. Travis’s research on long-term meditators experiencing these higher states. The book also makes the point that groups of individuals with greater brain integration can improve the function of organizations. And it explains how, based on scientific research, an entire society can benefit from developing individual brains.
