Yes, that's the MIT Kosmya study.
Its deeply flawed, the sample is only 55, there is no actual data published, but value statements like "less/more" (by how much? 0.3% or 30%)
And of course it's not peer reviewed.
Kosmya allegedly has said she has a new study coming out.

@n_dimension@infosec.exchange @wifsten@mas.to Right, it'll be interesting to see if they do a follow-up. We should really have much much much more serious research on the effects of brains of _all_ sorts of things connected to daily life in our tech socities. One of the most inspiring things in science I know of is the studies of how synchronous brain waves arise between toddler and care-taker when they engage in proto-dialogue; and similar can happen between adults as well. This has what M. Buber called "I-Thou" in it
