I couldn't find one when I first heard about it a few months ago and I found that a bit strange. It seemed to me to suggest that the article was colored to their interpretation rather than just presenting the facts.
I'm working off memory here, but I know I didn't read an actual study because the theory is very complex and I wouldn't really understand it. I think it still needs independent verification.

If one values the scientific method then it makes sense to look for a solution to the mind-body problem using modern physics. Classical physics hasn't produced any new theories, just the kind of dogmatism you see in Chas and Brian37.

To me the most interesting a credible articles can be found here:

You call me dogmatic, WooWooters? Irony.

I require evidence of and a plausible mechanism for a claim. There is no plausible mechanism for dualism, nor evidence of it.

All of the evidence from neuroscience is for consciousness to be brain-based.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
Science is not a subject, but a method.
