Ah, thanks for the background info. I was not aware that the paper referenced wasn't even peer-reviewed.

After looking at OP's website, I was a little skeptical; a good chunk of the front page is dedicated to peddling for donations. There's also no contact info to be found.

Just another scam, it would seem. Back to pondering quietly for me.

Don't hold your breath.

The 2011 foundational work was basically a preliminary exploration by researchers not entirely familiar with the methods of experimental psychology. The write-up was informal, failed to describe the method in enough detail to support independent reproduction, wasn't published in a peer-reviewed journal relevant to the domain of study and the work hasn't been pursued any further by the main researcher. I'm not sure of its pertinence to the project other than the spurious media interest it generated at the time.

Cheers,

Graham
