Brain and Body Responses to Virtual Reality Food Cues
This trial uses virtual reality to show you different food cues, like chocolate biscuits or pickles, and measures your brain activity and body responses to understand how these cues affect you. It may help researchers learn more about food cravings and eating behaviors.
