I realize you're absolutely correct and imaging is technically an aural illusion but, I was refering to illusions that seem to defy reality. Good imaging is what one would expect to hear from a good audio system.
However that's not the type of aural illusion Bob Carver's Sonic Hologram presented. This incredible device could expand the soundstage beyond the physical boundries of the room itself. When properly setup the Sonic Hologram could lead you to believe sound emanated from 3ft or so beyond where the side wall boundry was! That was an eerie situation, to have your eyes see a physical wall and yet to have your ears tell you there was musician 3ft beyond that boundry that you could hear and delineate as clearly as you could the musician who was in the center of the soundstage!
This was the type of aural illusion I was speaking of! One that every sense but your ears told you couldn't possibly be! Yet despite all that evidence to the contrary, your ears insisted the other senses were wrong and the room was larger than what your other senses told you it was! I'll never forget that experience...
