   Hello Arie.

   That is a whole new chapter, the human brain and the detection
   of cw in noise. Much has been written about it. And I
   am not going there.
   There is that experiment with the AF9Y unknown sound file and
   I am not quite sure what the outcome was in the end. I am quite 
   sure many gave it a listening session.
