Just as Vago will tell you the data

Just as Vago will tell you the data indicates TM to be focused-attention, Travis will tell you it indicates the opposite. This dichotomy between those inside and outside the TM held true across the board with everyone I spoke to.Transcending, Travis says, is an automatic process that reduces brain activity. There can’t be any focused intention in the mind, any directing of activity to any localized process. Travis looked at data from electroencephalogram (EEG) frequency bands (an EEG is the process of attaching electrodes to the scalp to monitor and record the electrical activity of the brain; it comes up in TM research a lot) and found that as distinct as the EEG patterns were from FAM to OMM, TM produces readings — and, by implication, results — that were unique compared to any other method.
