"The people who took part were sat in a quiet, temperature-controlled room, and were reclined semi-supine on a couch for the duration of each experiment - I suspect many of us may have found our relaxation and wellbeing improved under such conditions," he said. Yes, the lack of a control group makes the entire exercise somewhat pointless.
