Double-blind - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Double blind method is an important part of the scientific method, used to prevent research outcomes from being 'influenced' by the placebo effect or observer bias. It is also difficult to use the double blind method to compare surgical and non-surgical interventions (although sham surgery, involving a simple incision, might be ethically permitted). Blinded research is an important tool in many fields of research, from medicine, to psychology and the social sciences, to forensics. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Double-blind   (795 words)

What is a blind ABX test ? - Hydrogenaudio Forums Double blind means that nobody in the room or the imediate surrounding can know if X is A or B, in order to avoid any influence, even unconcious, on the listener. High quality electronic switches have been made for double blind listening tests (http://sound.westhost.com/abx-tester.htm) : a chip chooses X at random, and a remote control allows to compare it to A and B at will. The test should be performed under double blind conditions (*). www.hydrogenaudio.org /forums/index.php?showtopic=16295   (2362 words)

Randomized controlled trial - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia These additional precautions are often in place with the more commonly accepted term "double blind trials", and thus the term "triple-blinded" is infrequently used. The most common meaning is that the subject, researcher and person administering the treatment (often a pharmacist) are blinded to what is being given. Alternately, it may mean that the patient, researcher and statistician are blinded. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Randomized_controlled_trial   (1455 words)

"double blind, placebo-controlled trial" I am sure many of the members of the society are aware that the research team at Prince Henry/Prince of Wales Hospitals has conducted a number of "randomised, double blind, placebo-controlled trials" assessing potential treatment options for patients with CFS. The "double-blind" is the procedure in the study design which makes every attempt to ensure that neither the patient nor the researchers are aware which drug (active or placebo) each subject is receiving. The "blind" is very important in this type of research as it ensures that neither the patients nor the researcher can have any direct effect on the outcome of the treatment due to factors such as the effect of believing that one is receiving the active drug which in itself may produce some benefit. home.vicnet.net.au /~mecfs/general/dbpct.html   (637 words)

The Seattle Times: Food & wine: A double-blind look at Yakima Valley wines I elected to do this tasting double-blind, which means that all the wines were concealed in plain brown bags (single blind), and the list of participating wines and wineries was not revealed until after all my notes and scores had been finalized (that's the double-blind part). I am not opposed to blind tastings, but I absolutely do not believe they are any more fair (or objective) than tastings with labels revealed. So I had no idea of grape, vintage, price, vineyard or producer throughout the tasting, other than the fact that the wines were some combination of syrah, merlot, cabernet sauvignon, cabernet franc and perhaps some lesser-known Bordeaux grapes. seattletimes.nwsource.com /html/foodwine/2002805776_winecol15.html?syndication=rss   (1022 words)

AudiogoN Forums: Why is Double Blind Testing Controversial? While A/B testing (and particularly double blind testing, where you don't know which cable is A or B) does not show the long term listenability of a cable or other component, it does show the specific and immediate differences between the two. Blind and double-blind is a way, as we all know, to attempt...

control group study, double-blind, random tests The evaluator is kept blind to the controls to prevent him or her from subtly tipping off the subject, either knowingly or unknowingly. The different performances--10 correct out of 10 tries versus 6 correct out of 25 tries--vividly illustrates the need for keeping the subject blind to the controls: it is needed to eliminate self-deception and subjective validation. If the evaluator knew which crates were empty and which had persons, he or she might give a visual signal to the subject by looking only at the crates with persons. skepdic.com /control.html   (1219 words)

Double Blind Randomized Trial - Share The Wealth The true measure of efficacy is generally not randomized, double blinded, controlled clinical trials which may be useful but are extremely limited due to all manner of agendas and design complexities. In some cases, they are impossible to do, say for such things a DMSO, Chemo, majority of surgeries, etc. These cannot be double binded as one can smell DMSO, see the effects of Chemo and surgeries etc. To me most studies are frequently misleading, especially the newer ones, most are funded by vested interests and real researchers are those who have to fight the system and are usually lost in the scuffle. www.newmediaexplorer.org /chris/2003/09/08/double_blind_randomized_trial.htm   (1315 words)

Double-Blind Submission and Reviewing Thus double-blind reviewing helps reviewers make more objective decisions, even though they may guess the author. The authors omit their names from the submission, replacing them with "Submitted for Blind Review." In the submission, the authors' should refer to their own prior and all prior work in the third person, and include all relevant citations. With blind review, I am often surprised to find I guess the authors wrong and I like work from authors that I have never heard of previously. www.cs.utexas.edu /users/mckinley/notes/blind.html   (1052 words)

Health Encyclopedia For this reason the professional opinions of practicing doctors are far less reliable than the outcomes of double-blind, placebo-controlled studies. Some can be prevented by using blinded evaluators; in other words, the acupuncturists know who is receiving real treatment, but a separate researcher evaluates how well participants have improved, and that researcher has no idea who received real treatment. The researchers behind this study added an interesting twist: while most of physicians assigned to evaluate the participants for improvement were blinded, a few were not blinded, and they knew which participants were receiving placebo. healthlibrary.epnet.com /GetContent.aspx?token=e0498803-7f62-4563-8d47-5fe33da65dd4&chunkiid=38405   (3921 words)

THE WORLD’S FIRST DOUBLE BLIND A/B AUDIO SMELL TEST Newbies have heard and read about the controversy around double blind testing which is one of those great audio testing scams, so I wanted you to be aware of the only double blind test that really works..... To prove my point I conducted a double blind A/B (I WAS BLINDFOLDED) test to verify my claim.

DOUBLE-BLIND MUSIC On the bare stage are chairs, occupied by Year 12 students (i.e., two horn players, two violinists, one viola player, one double bassist) dressed as blind beggars in late 18th century France; before each student is a music stand and a musical score illuminated by an electric candle. Haüy: Well, about a dozen blind pensioners from The Hospice for the Three Hundred - dressed in grotesque clothes and wearing opaque spectacles - were playing a discordant piece of music, with all manner of instruments, which appeared to excite the the pleasure of the spectators. Is it that blind tests of their comparable works in the same genre - the string quartet, the violin concerto, and the sinfonia concertante - during the same period - from 1766 to 1778 - would reveal Saint-George to be found wanting or, perhaps, in a much more disconcerting manner, quite the reverse? www.wissensdrang.com /wis8amex.htm   (6369 words)

double-blind placebo controlled study This 'blindness' ensures that the personal beliefs and expectations of either the researchers or the study subjects do not undermine the objectivity of the results.

Double-blind - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Strictly speaking, every researcher who interacts with or treats a subject should be blinded, if an experiment is to be designated "double-blind." This situation is easily arranged when the treatment being tested is a drug, the appearance of which may be simulated with a colored pill or solution (that is, a placebo). The evaluation of such procedures can be approximately double-blind if the researchers responsible for recording subjects' responses and analyzing the data are blinded. Performing an experiment in double-blind fashion is a way to lessen the influence of prejudices and unintentional physical cues on the results. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Double-blind   (159 words)

control group study, double-blind, random tests The different performances--10 correct out of 10 tries versus 6 correct out of 25 tries--vividly illustrates the need for keeping the subject blind to the controls: it is needed to eliminate self-deception and subjective validation. Many control group studies use a placebo in control groups to keep the subjects in the dark as to whether they are being given the causal agent that is being tested. For example, both the control and experimental groups will be given identical looking pills in a study testing the effectiveness of a new drug. skepdic.com /control.html   (159 words)
