Experienced Zen, Yoga, and Transcendental Meditation meditators and control groups listened to auditory clicks during meditation. EEG alpha suppression and skin conductance response showed clear habituation that did not differ among groups, failing to replicate earlier claims that these meditation styles produce distinct states of consciousness. The N100, P200, and P300 components of the EEG evoked potential were also measured.
