Overview

The purpose of this study is to determine how different behavioral interventions designed to alter food perceptions and behaviors affect brain responses to food, eating behaviors, and body weight.

Interventions

  • Behavioral Active Implicit Priming
    Approximately 10-minute behavioral intervention
  • Behavioral Control Implicit Priming
    Approximately 10-minute behavioral intervention
  • Behavioral Food Exposure Task
    Approximately 10-30 minute behavioral intervention

Primary outcome measures

  • Percent Change in Blood Oxygen Level Dependent (BOLD) Response to Visual Food Cues as Measured by Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging [Time frame: Baseline, 12 weeks]
  • Change in Food Image Ratings [Time frame: Baseline, 12 weeks]
  • Change in Food Intake [Time frame: Baseline, 12 weeks]
Secondary outcome measures (2)
  • Percent Change in Body Weight [Time frame: Baseline, 12 weeks]
  • Change in Fat Mass [Time frame: Baseline, 12 weeks]
