Re: The problem is the human brain ...

I remember a demo in uni where the prof started with 8 bit 8kHz sampled speech and sequentially removed bits from the input. Though noisy, the 1-bit version was still mostly intelligible.

Later, I worked on a voice messaging application for my employer, and we repeated the experiment with similar results. Turns out, the human speech recognition wetware looks mainly at zero crossings.
