In Reply to: Geeky Audio Distortion Brain Measure Question for the day posted by MarkgM on April 8, 2011 at 01:18:54:
Was a specific form of brain activity associated with increased perceived distortion? If not you'd have a problem because there can be a lot of other reasons for increased brain activity and some of them can even be associated with different aspects of listening to music, such as striving to understand softly sung lyrics or concentrating on a particular vocal or instrumental part. We don't always do the same things mentally when listening to every piece of music we play and unless you've got some way of excluding variations in brain activity associated with differences in how we're listening, then it's going to be hard to argue that variations in the level of brain activity are directly associated with differences in perceived distortion.
