2.7 Blind versus Sighted Listening Tests

It is generally accepted among scientists that psychometric experiments must
be

performed double blind. For audio tests, this means the identities of the
components

under test cannot be made known to the listener, and the experimenter cannot
not directly

control or administer the actual test.
