A mathematical measure that combines EEG coherence in the frontal executive areas, the amount of global alpha (8-10 Hz associated with inner wakefulness) compared to gamma (20-50 Hz associated with localized, focused processing), and the brain preparatory response (see definitions for EEG and EEG Coherence).

Abstract
Management education is seeking creative innovations that can have a real impact on integrity. In this chapter, the authors present our recent research on the relationship between integrity in the brain, as measured by the Brain Integration Scale, and measures of moral reasoning. Further, they summarize research indicating longitudinal growth in coherent brain functioning, intelligence, personality maturity, moral development, and psychological health through the Consciousness-Based approach to management education practiced at Maharishi University of Management. This research supports a potentially innovative approach to management education that does not just address education for integrity on the level of ethical theories or values, but demonstrably transforms the neurophysiology, leading to changes in moral reasoning and heightened effectiveness of performance.
