“If the purpose of higher education is to enable individual to think and act successfullyan, then education is significant only when it enlivens the whole brain. Therefore, the level of integrated brain functioning is a reliable gauge of the success of a student’s educational experience.” Dr Fred Travis, PhD, Director of the Centre for Brain, Consciousness and Coherence Maharishi Univeristy of Management, Fairfield, USA
