However I'd like to point out this nice dissection of the article, where a lot of serious flaws had been found. For instance: missing significance. http://neuroconscience.com/2015/06/30/a-walk-in-the-park-inc...

Thank you for that link. I am not expert on statistical methods - is the reference to the F-stat in the link meant to indicate that the p-value was only 7%?
Yes, traditionally you need the 5% of error, or even 1%. Also the partial eta-squared is the ANOVA measure for the size of the effects studied, which happens to be very low too: 9%.
