A Physiological and Subjective Evaluation of Meditation, Hypnosis, and Relaxation
Abstract
Ss were monitored for respiratory rate, pulse rate, blood pressure, skin resistance, EEG activity, and muscle activity. They were monitored during the alert state, meditation (TM or simple word type), hypnosis (relaxation and task types), and relaxation. Ss gave a verbal comparative evaluation of each state. The results showed significantly better relaxation responses for the relaxation states (relaxation, relaxation-hypnosis, meditation) than for the alert state. There were no significant differences between the relaxation states except for the measure "muscle activity" in which meditation was significantly better than the other relaxation states. Overall, there were significant differences between task-hypnosis and relaxation-hypnosis. No significant differences were found between TM and simple word meditation. For the subjective measures, relaxation-hypnosis and meditation were significantly better than relaxation, but no significant differences were found between meditation and relaxation-hypnosis.

In the citing paper
“There is already a tradition of scholars proposing conceptual and phenomenological links between hypnosis and meditation (Davidson and Goleman 1977;Halsband et al. 2009;Lifshitz et al. 2012) yet there remains a paucity of empirical studies directly comparing the two sets of practices (Morse et al. 1977;Lush et al. 2016).”

“During meditation, as compared to the alert and relaxed states, there were marked increases in skin resistance (3,6) and slow alpha and theta EEG patterns (3,5,6).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
