This post was regarding a test conducted in 2012. I'm not saying it isn't relevant or that the reporting around the new one is good, but the study she was a part of is a different one from the study making the rounds today:

Yep, the one she was part of was basically a "pre-run", which allowed the run of a new, better and extended study.

Here's Ed Yong's reporting on the new one, gives most of the meat and introduces the old one (and criticisms to it): http://phenomena.nationalgeographic.com/2014/04/07/stradivar...
