| Abstract: | 4 Yogis practising meditation (samadhi) and 2 with raised pain threshold were examined electroencephalographically. Resting records of all 6 showed persistent alpha activity. The 4 practicing samadhi showed increased amplitude modulation during samadhi, and the alpha activity could not be blocked by various sensory stimuli during meditation. Alpha was easily blocked at other times. 2 Yogis who kept their hands in ice cold water for 45-55 minutes showed persistent alpha activity before and during this practice. The possible mechanism of these observations is discussed with a bypassing of the traditional afferent impulses of reticular activating system as the core. From Psyc Abstracts 36:01:3DG52A.
