You appear to be trying for a gotcha moment but Buddhism agrees. The suttas describe a method to directly experience what some science professes to measure. Why don't you give it a shot and see if your experience matches? No more than a couple months on retreat is enough for most to have their first absolute proof of anatta (not-self) with evidential experience within the first three weeks.

I'm just pointing out that the "self" which is asserted to not exist (or not be experienced, or however you want to describe it) in such experiences is a very limited concept of "self".
