I would if it weren't for the assinine Joe Sixpack comments. Go harrang someone else.
Follow Ups:
Please substitute "John Doe" for Joe Sixpack. Is that OK? The point I was trying to make is that by using the average untrained ear you will do little other than to prove that most folks cannot hear (or care to, for that matter) the kinds of audible differences we are discussing.
Thanks.
Thanks for the clarification E, let's all keep it respectful.Anyway, I thought this quote from a link that Jitter posted was applicable and clearly points out the value of training.
We measured discrimination thresholds of 13 to 32 naive listeners in a variety of conditions during a pretest and again, 2 weeks later, during a posttest. Between those two tests, we trained a subset of listeners 1 h per day for 9 days on a single ILD or ITD condition. Listeners improved on both ILD and ITD discrimination. Improvement was initially rapid for both cue types and appeared to generalize broadly across conditions, indicating conceptual or procedural learning.....
Yeah, but if you actually look at the data set provided, it doesn't really bear this out.
