OK, that's what the Esalen book says. The TM studies are not anecdotal accounts. It will be interesting to see what a 3-month study shows, although 4 months is the average time for the brainwaves to show their greatest average change during TM practice, so a 3- month study may miss changes during meditation. And EEG outside of meditation may well continue to change for decades in the direction of what EEG is like during meditation.
