Note that unlike most AES papers, the download is at this time totally
free.

The meta study could be summarized as follows:

One of the funnier aspects of the article can be found en by checking
the footnotes. There are papers describing approaches to this problem
going back to 1931, and still all the high res advocates like this
author can come up with is a call for more experiments!

Even with some pretty obvious cherry picking of results, the best the
author could come up with is according to Table 2, a total of 12,645
trials with 6,736 or 53.27% correct responses.  This is 3.27 % better
than placebo. 

In most areas of human  endeavor, people would call this sort of weak
performance  a lost cause.  The call for more testing looks to me like a
lame attempt to obfuscate the absence of compelling results after over a
century of trying and over 10,000 trials, even after fairly obvious
cherry-picking.
