A '''blind study''' is a series of [[experiment]]s in which the participants do not know whether or not they are a part of the control group. This term comes from the fact that the participants are "blind" to the details of the study.
A '''blind study''' is a series of [[experiment]]s in which the participants do not know whether or not they are a part of the control group. This term comes from the fact that the participants are "blind" to the details of the study.
