I think it's possible to learn stuff about the mind from contemplative practice, just not with the degree of justification we get from science.I would say if it's systematic, if it can be subject to experimentation, and if it doesn't make up attributions about where the results come from, it could be called science.
The only thing is that it is intrinsically introspective if you're doing it on your own. They can trigger lucid dreams, OBEs, and stuff like that in the lab, and that's definitely science.
