Okay. Makes me wonder, though, if the subject knows what he's getting anyway, why is the test blind in the first place?

Edit: Yes, I'd do objective test like dual-n-back and math. Other than collecting subjective impressions, I guess the usefulness of this idea depends on whether performance in those test is susceptible to improvement by placebo effects.
