There are some pretty significant flaws in the methodology, in my opinion (namely the researcher's inadequate understanding of the whole "no-self" thing, and the lack of importance placed on meditation experience). But it's still worth checking out. I really enjoyed it.

Replying to @Failed_Buddhist
Yeah, the fact that those in the study weren’t necessarily meditators kind of negates my interest in it. Experience of no-self very different than ideology

Right. You don't gain much more through believing Buddhist doctrines than believing any other doctrines. It's the work that counts.
Nonetheless I found the discussion worthwhile. And to be fair, @tamler actually raised this point.
