Abstract
An effort was made to analyze the cerebral electrical activity of fifteen meditators by means of EEG recordings. The Electroencephalogram (EEG) is a physiological electrical signal recorded from the scalp to study the brain function. EEG is recorded before and after meditation inside and outside the pyramid.EEG after Meditation may provide an access to the mental states beyond normal consciousness. It is an attempt to score the meditation course by studying the variation in EEG parameters.
