- Conditions
- Cognitive Performance
- Registration Number
- NCT03169283
- Lead Sponsor
- PepsiCo Global R&D
- Brief Summary
This project will assess the effects of the macro-nutrient make-up of morning food intake on cognitive performance using visual analog scale (VAS) measures, behavioral tests, and advanced high-density electrophysiological techniques (256-channel recordings). Two Isocaloric cereal products will be tested and compared to determine if measures of cognitive performance as well as satiety will change after consumption.
