Thanks. Thats the feeling I got from the article -- that the SA author was referring to informal sources, not published research -- and even the giving it a bit of gloss perhaps. Its a nice "theory" -- but it appears (need more searches to verify) that the theory has not stirred up a lot of interest and additional research to verify it. And the article, or perhaps your post, appeared to contain a bitof a tautology -- advanced brains have more coherence and cohernece defines what advanced brains are-- not size etc. > BTW, I referred you to the medline search on eeg coherence only to show that there was > plenty of scientific interest on the subject, Yes, it is a good source. Though for "brain wave coherence" (I understand "eeg ..." is more comprehensive) I got 83 on medline and over 600 on google scholar. > NOT to prove that the TM researcher's emphasis > on it was correct. Understood. Though, for me that, and related, are the questions of interest: how does mainstream science use and measure the term BWC (or EEG coherence,etc); what is the significance of it, that is, is it a superior state, or one naturally found, is increasing BWC a good thing, etc. You had indicated that you used the "brainwave coherence" search string > and found relatively little. medline or google scholar searches on EEG coherence yields far > more hits than the using the same search engines with "brainwave coherence." Yes, I will use that in the future. I used BWC because thats what I used in prior searches on google and was interested in comparison. ------------------------ Yahoo!
