Hanson believes the problem is not open access & APCs per se, but for-profit publishers that seek to publish as many papers as possible... the strain on academic publishing could be substantially alleviated if funding agencies stipulated... work they support must be published in non-profit journals.
Quality of scientific papers questioned as academics ‘overwhelmed’ by the millions published
Widespread mockery of AI-generated rat with giant penis in one paper brings problem to public attention

Quick check of the paper mentioned here under and it's rather "opaque". 🤔
Key point IMO is confusing Maxwell's equations time dependence and brain waves time scale. Anisotropy and inhomogeneity in tissue conductivity is important but it lives very well with the "quasi-static approximation".
