Effect of Choice on Food Pleasure Using fMRI

NCT02958371 · Status: UNKNOWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 55

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Previous studies have suggested that consumers who can choose what to eat could find food more pleasant, and consume more of that food, than when in absence of choice. However cognitive mechanisms that could explain the effect of choice have not been investigated. The study consists in a fMRI experiment intended to observe the effect of the presence of choice on brain activity following consumption of a fruit-flavored drink, compared to the brain activity when the same drink is consumed without choice. It is suggested that consumers will appreciate drinks they chose better, and that the activity in gustatory and reward regions will change accordingly to changes in declared food pleasure.
