General audio topics that don't fit into specific categories.

Completely fun idea....brain mapping with changes in equipment. A new frontier?

I can imagine the 'measurements' section of Stereophile reviews!

"As you can see, Wes Phillips' temporal cortex shows [significantly more/significantly less] activity with this speaker compared to his reference. The new speakers reveal that Wes' pleasure centers in his prefrontal cortex and limbic system were more actively engaged with this speaker, with the new speaker producing an effect remarkable similar to that of chocolate; but when when took his hands out of his lap, this difference disappeared..."

They've done little bits like this with functional MRI.....comparing how a professional musician perceives music vs. a 'regular' person. But fMRI data would be really hard to get in the context of one's Hi Fi at home.

Fun idea!
