In Reply to: I Wish that Such a Study Would Be Conducted............. posted by Todd Krieger on April 8, 2011 at 22:01:55:
If the person believes something, i am certain the brain reflects this.
In an example close to us: There was a big fuss over bearings on turntables being destroyed by playing Lps that were from digital recordings. This really did sweep the anti-digital forces. Eventually it was shown to be totally bogus. Yet when it was being demonstrated, it seem to be true, and all the experiments showed it was true. Yet they were totally flawed, and proven wrong. And today no-one gives a moments' thought to such a notion.
I am neither for nor against such a test, nor do i think it is true or not. I ma just proposing that it would be exceedingly diificult to properly implement such a test without bias.
