...with organs! Listen via headphones, or a near field rig.
It may not be too terribly relevant to home audio, except to demonstrate how mixing sensory inputs wildly alters perception (sighted testing, anyone?). The part concerning how we localize sounds may be relevant for those of us who employ time/intensity trading with controlled directivity speakers. Even the missing fundamental part had me wondering if one of my hair-shirt tube amps with cheap azz iron and copious low order harmonic distortion may be doing similar things, embellishing the fundamentals.

Anywho, perception and sensory illusions are fascinating. I hope you enjoy the video.
