This allows for simple direct measurements for the CMB modulations, and also indirect measurements for the CMB trispectrum, which fully determines the CMB modulations in a statistically isotropic universe. The CMB power multipoles can reach the theoretical accuracies higher than the current constraints from Planck observations.
