There are definitely traps along the meditative path, like thinking that rapture is the point, or thinking highly of yourself, e.g., "wow, I'm a better meditator than other people". But it's a bit like worrying about overexercising, not a problem most people are likely to face.
So we have this silly study showing whatever, and then we have 2500 years of brilliant monks like Ajaan Chah, Thich Nhat Hanh, on and on and on, telling us it's exactly like the Buddha said, and that we should meditate and see it for ourselves. I think I'll go with the larger study.
