In Reply to: Food for thought. Is the placebo effect a spiritual principle? [nt] posted by Wellfed on April 14, 2007 at 16:08:58:
Our physical and mental state can be positively affected by placebo, or rather a placebo can trigger our body's/brain's natural healing qualities if we're talking of placebo in medicine in particular.In audio, placebo may have some influence on our ability to discern improvements between components in the short term if we've conditioned ourselves to expect an improvement, but in the long term we'll become dissatisfied and realise which component is in fact 'better' or more to our tastes than another.
This is why DBTs are of limited value in my opinion, and although sometimes the differences in components are obvious and improvements are quite drastic, in the main it's only by extended listening that components can be fully assessed.
