Research project funded by NIMH to study how individuals with Anorexia Nervosa assign subjective value to food and to develop interventions to modify food preferences using neuroimaging and behavioral methods.
Description
This project aims to understand the cognitive and neural mechanisms underlying subjective food valuation in Anorexia Nervosa (AN), using fMRI, eye-tracking, and computational models. It involves two studies: one examining how individuals with AN construct subjective value for food, and another testing whether value construction can be biased to influence food choices. The goal is to develop neuroscience-based interventions to modify food preferences in AN.
