Big deal!
Just one paragraph in a long rambling article. No links or references.

That paragraph doesn't make much sense. It is virtually meaningless as it is. I would really like to know the test conditions that occurred under. My hunch is the study is probably bogus.

I admit to scanning through the article quickly and I thought I had read bbc, hence putting the articcle up here. This should learn me from trying to post and work at the same time.

Doesn't posting involves work?

"Rambling"? "Meaningless"? "Bogus"? From the LA Times? Surely you jest!

But it is interesting.

The difference matters. Neuroscientists are beginning to look at how the brain responds to compressed mp3s as opposed to the higher-resolution digital. Early results suggest that with high resolution, the brain's emotional activity is the same as with live music, while less dopamine, the chemical behind such pleasures as sex, is released when the music files are highly compressed. The reasons, however, for the low streaming standard are, these days, commercial (it's cheaper to use less bandwidth and more convenient), not technical.

Would love to see the final test.

It is somewhat but nothing that breaks a sweat
