People vary. That's why virtually all studies of humans (or any other species) are based on sampling and averages. It could be that some study participants experienced an opposite effect, without invalidating anything.

Now, one weakness of this study is that the sample size is just twelve. And the criteria for being included in the study, such as not taking any prescription drug, makes the participants somewhat atypical.

On the other hand, I'm impressed by the care taken with those twelve, and that the effect was so strong as to be statistically significant despite the small sample.

Is this a joke?

As for the study, I wasn't planning to give up on eInk even before reading it. But it's one good reason for my wife and I to stick with our Kindle Keyboards.
