I've been keeping an eye out on this study and had hoped there were more results, but this article hasn't said anything about that. Not sure where the no-self part comes in, but it looks like the article title has changed.
I've been listening to a lot of Adyashanti's talks and interviews lately. He's not saying anything substantially different from any other non-dual teacher is saying, though I find that he is very clear when he does speak about this. One of the things that come up is that the experience of "no-self" is different from "unity consciousness" and "identification with witness" though those are each awakenings and realizations someone might go through.
I wanted to note that because "no-self" is often confused with "unity consciousness", but what's clear from Adyashanti and some of the others is that the experience of a unity consciousness will still have a very subtle landing space, whereas "no self" doesn't even have that subtle self-referencing either.
Also, these people are experiencing "no-self" and "unity consciousness" as an integral part of their daily, ordinary experience, usually while simultaneously experiencing an individuated and relative sense of self. These are not altered consciousness in the sense that many psychonauts might speak of, or a one-time mystical or peak experience, and the experience itself is a lot simpler, if impossible to put into words.
