Voluntary focal activity typically disrupts EEG alpha activity. This experiment tested the hypothesis that the alpha wave would not be disrupted during "Yogic Flying" (YF), a TM-Sidhi technique that produces movement of the body such as hopping, because the technique operates at a self-referral level in which attention remains in a settled, inwardly directed state. In 23 subjects YF was compared with voluntary jumping in the same subjects which mimicked the movements of YF. The percentage of relative power of alpha was significantly higher for YF in virtually all EEG derivations, supporting the hypothesis. The effect appeared to be of similar magnitude in all cortical areas.
自主性局灶性活动通常会干扰脑电图的α波活动。本实验检验了这样一个假设：在“瑜伽飞行”（YF）过程中α波不会受到干扰，“瑜伽飞行”是一种超觉静坐进阶技术，会产生如跳跃等身体运动，因为该技术在自我参照水平上起作用，此时注意力保持在一种稳定的、向内指向的状态。在23名受试者中，将YF与同一受试者模拟YF动作的自主性跳跃进行了比较。在几乎所有脑电图导联中，YF的α相对功率百分比都显著更高，这支持了该假设。在所有皮质区域，这种效应似乎具有相似的程度。
