Another approach would be to come up with a back story for the study which would counteract the bias. I’ll think on an example.

Well, if the goal is to get someone who's had one experience to report on whether a second experience is comparable or identical, then you're completely in the realm of the subjective, and I wouldn't even attempt to avoid that. You seem to want to have any assessment comparing the experiences done by a third party; while I (again) agree that could be useful, I would still want a straightforward answer from an NDEr on whether or not they would rate a DMT experience as comparable or identical.
