The purpose of the present work was to investigate the effects of imagery at body parts with meridian points on an electroencephalogram and pulse waves. Imagery of a sunlight incident at middle of forehead, breast and abdomen including Yingtang, Danzhong and Dantian and of filling body with sunlight showed a slowing of the electroencephalogram over the whole region during imagery. A remarkable increase of Ø-waves and ¶1-waves was observed for a certain subject. A decrease of the pulse interval and an increase of the intensity of pulse waves were also observed.
