No that is not the idea, the participants decided whether or not they remember a face based on their heartbeat not their memory. the information ''originally'' arose from the heart not the brain.

in my view consciousness is not just about calculation neurons only process information but there are other features of consciousness that don't just depend on calculation. Roger Penrose wrote two huge books arguing for quantum nature of consciousness based on this noncomputable side of consciousness, arguing mainly from the undecidable problems like the incompleteness theorems of Godel, even Ed witten recently claimed that science can never crack consciousness Pain is not a thought, pain is some sort of a physical phenomena and of course it is a feature of consciousness, our awareness is not just a calculation in the brain, when we are aware of something or feel something we don't just calculate like a computer

you didnot read carefully,details about experiments were given, ''This year a study published in Journal of Experimental Psychology titled ‘’ Knowing by heart: Visceral feedback shapes recognition memory judgments.’’ In the study the scientists showed the participants arbitrary pictures of people and they used to repeat some pictures from time to time and being asked whether they have seen such faces before or no. The interesting part is the participants used to decide whether the face was repeated or not based on their heartbeat. In other words, the participants could say that a face is familiar just because their heart is beating in a certain way although the picture is shown for the first time, and they could also say that the face is not familiar although it has been repeated based on their heart beat.'' In addition, here is an article in scientific american discussing human psychology beyond the brain https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-neuroscience-of-heart/

Recently scientists have been performing experiments on people to test whether the heart plays a role in human thinking and cognition http://us.blastingnews.com/world/2016/12/we-could-be-knowing-by-heart-scientists-say-001305773.html
