  • Alpha power and coherence rose; high beta fell
  • Fast-band coherence increased during coherent periods

EEG and heart-rate variability were recorded before and during autogenic meditation. Heart coherence rose during meditation, and periods of heart coherence went with more alpha power and coherence and less high beta, consistent with relaxation, plus more fast-band coherence that the authors link to cognitive reorganization.
