Overview
Brief Summary
The aim of this study is to compare brain changes in individuals with overweight or obesity enrolled in either the Noom Healthy Weight program or a matched control. The study objectives (primary and secondary) are to measure brain change reported as ERP and EEG data over a 16-week timeframe. Additionally, we will explore changes in the default mode network (resting-state asymmetry in EEG measurements), changes in executive functioning, quality of life, mood, and salivary markers as they relate to EEG data.
