Alan,

Great article! I'm reading a book on the subject now called, "Music, the brain and ectasy" which I highly  recommend. I'm hoping to do so experiments of the next few months on this very subject.

Bests,

Here is a link to that talks about how the brain reacts to higher sample rates.

Alan, http://mixonline.com/mag/audio_world_above/

The Boyk paper makes no mention of audibility, the Japanese PET paper has been refuted, and the square/sine wave test... well where do you start?

Afaik, there has never been any proof of >20k hearing in adults.  One paper failed to account for intermodulation of the tweeter and the super-tweeter.  Another study was partially funded by Pioneer...

I remember seeing one PET study where they compared musicians and non-musicians listening to the same piece, and you could see both sides of the brain lighting up in the musician, as they are both enjoying the tune _and_ analyzing it.
