Mind mirror measurements at the Levi Labyrinth

Abstract: Using a dual electroencephalograph ("Mind Mirror"), the author compared brain wave shifts of five subjects before and after walking the Levi Labyrinth, a 60 foot diameter, classical seven-circuit labyrinth near Austin Texas. The author reports that, "In five subjects tested, two men and three women, four out of five had a significant right dominance brain wave shift following a single walk through the Levi Labyrinth. Measurements were made at a resting pulse rate before walking the labyrinth and again after walking the labyrinth when pulse rate had returned to a resting rate." Although the author acknowledges that these results are very limited, he believes this to be the first time the effects of the labyrinth have been studied by examining brain wave output.
