That is a a very interesting observation about stereo imagery
possibly engaging more neural circuitry and perhaps enhancing memory.
I record and monitor a stereo mic rig with wireless stereo headphones
almost every night as I sleep. In the morning, I jot down notes about
sound events that I seem to recall hearing. One of the best ways I
can test as to whether the event was real or imagined is to try and
describe its location within the stereo field. I've done this for
about a year and it seems to me that spatialization is usually part
and parcel of the "recording" I've made in my head. Later, as I
spot-play through the recording in search of this recalled moments,
the sound is always positioned very closely to what I recalled.
Curious to think that our memories of heard experiences could include
the space they occurred in! =-O Rob D.
