IRB stands for Institutional Review Board. Any project dealing with human subjects has to have its research plan approved by the IRB before experiments begin. Every scientific study on people at every level has to pass this qualification. If you want to try to prove your brother’s dumber than a hamster, you need IRB approval before you run him through a maze.
