As has been the case from the get-go, all MUM students are required to practice TM. I think they're aware that the latest bunch may include people willing to sit with their eyes closed for 20 minutes deliberately NOT meditating. I believe that to counter this, MUM now has the meditation report card thing which monitors the changes in the EEG of students along the lines that long-term practitioners of TM generally show. I think the assumption is that if someone is only pretending to do TM, their EEG won't show any long-term changes, so the report card thing will provide incentive for the students to actually practice TM while they are there. Whether or not there is really a consistent enough change in EEG to warrant this assumption (or whether or not this is why the MUM folk are starting this) is left as a topic for debate... ------------------------ Yahoo!
