Interpretation getting in the way of communication. Our ability to directly measure the brain’s response is getting better and cheaper.
But someone needs a big budget to conduct tests.

The musical brain seems long forgotten, but one day it'll be taken in consideration, I guess.
All this thread is just about...what?
Once the musical code and how its recognition from the brain ( the auditory/perception thing is another matter ) is performed...voilà! many of the perennial threads about psycoacoustics and measurements and bla bla bla, will be long forgotten either.
One thing that amuses me is: distortion
How can a part or two (or ten) per million cause a cracking in perception of the thing called music when there are things that are many orders of magnitude more important.

That just means that everything following this fake fact in the explanation is incorrect ergo there is no real valuable explanation.
To get back to the original question I have come across an audiophile who swears he can easily hear differences in cables but I can not make such a claim at all.
Then again doing the Klippel test he could not hear THD below 2% while I could fairly easily hear 0.5%.
Make of that what you will...

We both may have chosen shoes way too big for us!
IMO Charles Darwin was one of the two greatest scientists, the other being James Clerk Maxwell who also was an all round good egg!
James always insisted on starting the academic year late so he could help the labourers on his ancestral farm in Scotland and that he would get one day per week off, paid of course, to hold lectures in a local working man's club.
