Umm, it is pseudoscience inasmuch no real study has been conducted (it isn't 'exciting' enough ...yet). So, yeah this is anecdotal but that doesn't make it false. A number of people I know have been through the vipasanna course and express the same sentiment. I wonder why it is popular now to expect ^someone^ to do the research and present ^evidence^ before they can even begin to become curious about something. Does scientific curiosity these days hinge on someone else having done the tests ? Does it automatically qualify as hogwash because there isn't and evidence yet ? or because we have a tendency to doubt things not deeply rooted in numbers and double blind tests, /even if/ the reason for that is a simple -- nobody has bothered to do this yet.
