...everyone keeps missing the point.
Even with EEG, once your headset is on, to what do all those leads connect?
A computer!
One popular theory of the pure analog advocates is that some combination of our playback equipment, hearing and brain activity is sensitive to the presence of digital processing.
One is back to the conundrum. There is no way to peer into the activity of the brain without the use of computers. That makes it impossible to view what's going on in a truly pure analog environment.
Also keep in mind that the different scanning devices look at the brain in different ways. Who knows which one is best suited to show what needs to be shown? Add to that the impossible number of variables concerning changes in mood, time, physical aspects and the difference between the first play of a piece and repetitions, and it would be very difficult to draw solid conclusions.
In short, a lot of work for very questionable data.
