That's quite impressive. Esp. when they suggest that researchers may choose to report differences in significance because the actual interaction effect is not significant. Part of the craze to publish or perish i guess. Having an open science approach would help identify these errors here. That is not to say that the significant results are not significant, though, just that any claim you may read in the discussion section should be taken with a grain of salt (which i think is already the case, given that brain phenomena are borderline chaotic). This may even indicate the mere fact that in neurosciences you have zero really large and deep labs (think LHC scale), but instead you have thousands of small labs doing largely overlapping work with usually small sample sizes, all competing for small grants.
