How do you obtain fMRI measurements of a speaker:-)

Yeah, I know, you can't :-)

I think that MRI goes a bit too far, MRI won't tell you if what you hear is accurate to the source. That's what Hifi is about, the sound arriving at your ears, before further processing, must (ideally) be an identical copy of the original event.

If you get MRI from different individuals these MRI will probably look different, depending on many factors related to the respective individual, such as taste. If I hate Bach, that music will generate a response very different to the one from a Bach lover. So which response is correct? Both, but that doesn't get us very far.

MRI is certainly an important measurement when investigating how we perceive things, but for determining how faithful a set of speakers reproduces, I don't think that it's of much use.
