Margoo,

Thanks for posting that clarification. I don't read those other forums, and I've been pretty busy lately, so I appreciate your post very much.

And I think that Jams is absolutely right. If you anticipate hearing something, you will. And I think that this is exactly what happened.

It appears to me that previous work, if any, was aimed at: "What are they saying?" Instead of "Is that human speech?" It's the same problem as throwing down some mug shots and asking, "Which one of these guys attacked you?" instead of "Do you see that person here in this group? They may or may not be there." If you have software that is aimed at interpreting noise as speech, you may very well obtain some misleading result from that approach as well, such as: Burke is saying "What would you do with a brain if you had one?"
