Several are given in the paper.  I'm sure there are many, many more -
for example, as people develop lossy compression algorithms this must
be one of the things they check for.

Everybody that's ever done anything with stats is familiar with ANOVA. 
Fisher's PLSD isn't relevant for this question - it's not a test of
statistical significance.  And I agree with lanierb - they are indeed
treating multiple measurements on the same individual as statistically
independent.

For example, in the Results section under EEG Experiment 1, they state
that 11 subjects participated.  But they use F(2,63) to evaluate the
significance, presumably because they took multiple measurements on
each individual (although they don't explain).  As lanierb points out,
that's invalid unless something else is going on (which they haven't
mentioned).  And had they used F(2,11) the result would not be
significant even at the 5% level.
