Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

Brain scans are not proxies for what we hear when listening to music

The brain has a huge number of inputs, many of which are not noticed because they are masked by stronger simultaneous inputs. I think brain scans would not correlate with subjective sound quality.

If a blind listener, or listening panel, prefers the stereo system sound quality when a supertweeter is connected, versus when it is not connected, then you have a useful experiment to support buying that super tweeter for that stereo system.

We don't need brain scans ... and specially selected Indonesian music ... and only listeners under 35 years-old (whose hearing was never tested). That's too far removed from our reality to be a meaningful test.
