Fons,

Thank you; that's very informative.  It would seem to me, with my simplistic 
ways of thinking, that this method of detecting UHJ would depend on there being 
a preponderance of data being associated with a center image.  Indeed, being 
able to see a group or cloud of data in the graph depends on one direction 
being dominant.  But in practice it works.  Does this explain why the second 
instance, using the Midas Studios string quartet recording, has a different 
phase offset?

I did something similar but using a completely different and cruder tool set to 
analyze the Enya recordings from the albums "Enya" and "Watermark" and couldn't 
see any signs of UHJ encoding.  I had to select, by ear, the times in the 
recording where there was a strong center image.

Eric

Having a spare moment I decided to just try something simple. Results here:
