We've talked about this in another thread: "outrageous" claims or not, experiments must take into account every source of interference, including of course that generated by the meditator themselves. Chanting, mantras, coughing, whatever can perturb the sensitivity of the intruments.
Maybe this has been addressed in the experiments but was not clarified in the paper? Unfortunately I did not have the time to go through the details.
... and my implication is, if this was never an issue with DS in general why now?
Just feel like there is an ulterior motive. Sure we should check into how things may affect the outcome of the test, but there are an infinite number of things that could. Are these things just part of an endless line of crap to throw in the way of having to accept valid data?
