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.
