| Abstract: | Describes how eye movements and certain visual mechanisms appear to be related to states of relaxation and levels of wakefulness. The hatha yoga tradition uses certain eye exercises or postures to induce relaxation and reduce arousal. It is suggested that visual correlates of the alpha state may be involved in the success of the new eye desensitization procedure. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2002 APA, all rights reserved) |
